A Biographical Sketch of Professor March,
rANCIS ANDREW MARCH, Sr., was born in the village of Millbury, Mass., October 25, 1825. In his
boyhood he evinced a decided taste for literature, and, his ambitions being fostered, he improved his oppor-
tunities so well that in 1845 he was graduated from Amherst College, which in 1848 bestowed upon him
the degree of A. M. He entered upon the study of law, and was admitted to the bar In 1850, but ill health
compelled him to give up an excellent practice, whereupon he turned to his favorite studies, philosophy, language
and literature, in which he very soon gained permanent fame among colleges and learned persons of both Europe
and America. In 1870 the degree of LL.D. was conferred upon him by Princeton, and In 1871 by Amherst.
In 1887 Columbia honored him with the degree of L.H.D. , and in 1896 he received from Oxford, England,
the title of D.C.L.,and from Cambridge, England, and also from Princeton, the same year, the very distin-
guished degree of Litt.D.
Professor March was called to the chair of English Language an'J Comparative Philology of Lafayette
College, in 1857, which he has ever since occupied despite offers from the greatest colleges of the world. He
Is a pioneer in the study of English Classics and English Literature, and is regarded as the first authority living
on derivation, spelling, definition and grammar, and as a linguist he has had no equal since tho death of Max
Muller. He was elected president of the American Philological Association in 1873, and again in 1896, and has
served as president of the Spelling Reform Association since its organization in 1876. He succeeded James
Russell Lowell as president of t;ie Modem Language Association of America, in 1891; is Vice-President of the
New Shakspere Society, London, and an honorary member of the Philological Society, London, and L'Associ-
ation Fonetique de Professeurs da Langues Vivants, Paris. He is also Senator of Phi Beta Kappa, member
of the National Council of Education, of the American Philosophical Society, and of the American Antiquarian
Society, and Chairman of the Pennsylvania Commission on Amended Orthography. Since 1879 Professor
March is Director of American Readers for the Oxford (Murray's), England, Dictionary, the greatest work
of the kind ever undertaken, and is consulting editor of the Standard Dictionary.
Professor March Is the author of many educational works that are used as text books In the most
famous colleges of Europe and America. In 1865 Harpers published his " Method of Philological Study
of the English Language," and in 1869 " A Parser and Analyzer for Beginners." A year later the same
publishing house brought out his " Comparative Grammar of the Anglo-Saxon Language," and his "Anglo-
Saxon Reader." Professor March has contributed largely to magazines on the subject of language, and has
written numerous learned articles for leading encyclopedias. He is also editor of "Latin Hymns with English
Notes," "Eusebius," "Tertullian," "Athenagoras," and other classics published by Harpers. As an Encyclo-
pedist and Lexicographer, Professor March is Justly world-famous, and as a linguist and authority on English
literature he Is, perhaps, without a compeer.

FOREWORD
In London, 1852, appeared o volume entitled, "Thesaurus of English Words and
Phrases, Classified and Arranged so as to Facilitate the Expression of Ideas and Assist in
Literary Composition, by Peter Hark Roget, M. D., F. R. S." It was intended to supply a
collection of the words and idiomatic combinations of the English language, " arranged,
not in alphabetical order as they ore in a dictionary, but according to the ideas which they
express," so that any one who has an idea may here find the word or words by which it
may be most fitly and aptly expressed. This book has been for half a century a familiar
part of the machinery used by authors, preachers, lecturers and the like. The number of
such persons has lately increased rapidly. Writing also fills a larger place in our schemes
of education. The students of our universities have little time for Socratic dialogue ; they
hand in essays day by day, and close their careers with original theses as heavy as articles
in the quarterlies. Observation of the needs of the book-buying public, especially that
part of it which has found use for Roget, has led to the thought that its material may
be prepared and supplemented for a much wider sphere — one that comports better with
a largely extended language and modernized form of expression.
The first shortcoming in Roget is that there ore no definitions of the words or
explanations of the phrases. The book is really an index of w<>rds to be looked op in
dictionaries and cyclopedias, unless one comes to it with his mind thoroughly stored with
words and meanings. Besides the single words there are collected phrases, kennings, and
longer familiar quotations in English and foreign languages. These are all helpful to the
literary worker. There has been a great accumulation of them in the latest dictionaries, in
the Century, the Standard, and in the Oxford Dictionary. The Standard has gone farthest
in the collection of groups of words, giving, for example, groups of names of apples, and coins,
and structures, and animals. The Oxford prints the most numerous phrases, and adds
quotations containing them which exhibit their biographies. The time seems ripe for a
Thesaurus, bringing together groups of them, accompanied by concise definitions giving in
each group the meaning of each word as used in the group.
Then there is difficulty with the machinery for finding any particular word or phrase.
Early vocabularies often consist of groups arranged by their ideas. .That of iElfric, a
M34814
tenth century Anglo-Saxon work, begins with formers' tools all in a heap; then come ecclesi-
astical matters, then political, then diseases, then wild beasts, insects, vessels, a room and its
contents, and so on. Nothing could be done with the materials of the Oxford Dictionary, or
the Century, or Standard, on any such plan. Dictionaries are sometimes arranged according
to a philological system. Ettmiiller's Anglo-Saxon Dictionary has the words classified under
their roots, and the roots and words arranged according to the scientific order of the sounds.
The beginner has to moster this order of sounds, and then to guess under what root his word
belongs — or rather under what root Ettmiiller thinks it belongs. He has, in fact, to learn the
language to its depths before he can use the dictionary.
Roget's arrangement is primarily one of nameoble objects. "It is impossible we
should thoroughly understand the nature of the signs unless we first properly consider and
arrange the things signified," is his motto, taken from Home Tooke's " Diversions of
Purley." He classifies nameables, after the manner of the English psychologists, into matter,
mind (intellect, volition, affections), space and abstract relations, and divides and subdivides
these until he makes out an even thousand divisions, and into these he puts all the words. In
order to find any word it was necessary to think out in which subdivision its idea belongs.
This is worse than Ettmiiller. It was necessary to add a verbal index, alphabetically
arranged, with references to the groups by number. It is not easy, indeed, to find o word
ofter you know the number of its group, for the group may contain hundreds of words in no
manageable order.
The machinery of a serviceable dictionary is found in the alphabet. The invention of
alphabetic writing has been often pronounced the most important ever made. It is not the
least of its benefits to mankind that it affords the means of making knowledge accessible.
Every one knows the letters of the alphabet. If all thoughts are arranged under their words,
and the words arranged in alphabetic order, any one can find off-hand any of the million tacts
and thoughts which are stored in the dictionary. The use of the simple alphabetic order is
almost as important an invention as the representation of words by single signs of their
elementary sounds.
The material of this Thesaurus has been brought to alphabetic order. Our publisher
suggested that it be called a THESAURUS DICTIONARY, believing that the word
"Thesaurus" will easily assume the meaning of groups, and "Dictionary" that of alphabetic
arrangement.
In using the THESAURUS DICTIONARY, look up any word connected with your sub-
ject in its alphabetic place in the vocabulary list in larger black type, exactly as in a com-
mon dictionary. Anger, for example, is found thus on page 45. It is there briefly defined as
a violent passion, and two groups to which it belongs are then mentioned in small capitals,
Excitability-Inexcitability and Favorite-Anger. To study the first group turn
to excitability-inexcitability in its alphabetical place in the general vocabulary,
page 372. There, under this heading, are two parallel columns, the left-hand for excita-
bility, the right for inexcitability, each running on for a couple of pages and bringing
together some one hundred and fifty words and phrases. These ore divided into nouns,
verbs, verbal phrases, adjectives, etc., arranged in alphabetic order. The first column
contains all words and phrases naturally associated according to the laws of similarity,
contiguity and comprehension, — synonyms and the like; the second column contains a similar
group related to the first column according to the law of contrast,— antonyms, polar opposites,
and the like. By means of cross-references, other groups of associated meaning are
brought to the attention.
A large collection of groups like these, printed without alphabetic order and without
definitions, notes or comments, constitutes the Thesaurus of Roget or the Dictionnaire Ide'o-
logique of Robertson. It is obvious that this is really an index of words to be studied in other
dictionaries, unless the student be thoroughly stored beforehand with words and meanings.
An attempt has been made in this volume to give the less accomplished student
further help in his handling of the groups, and his use of them for original work. In
the first place the words and phrases are defined. The dictionaries try first to state,
with exactness and clearness, the thought for which each word stands. The student of lit-
erature or oratory knows that putting together these dictionary definitions does not give the
full force of the great passages. When words are idiomatically put together, the combination
is not agglutinative; relations between the words appear, and the result is not a mechanical
compound, but chemical, or, rather, vital, especially when the melody of the voice is added.
The definition is an idea, a solid intellectual center; the emotions which have been felt
with it rise in memory with it, and give it an aureole, a halo, a nimbus, a glory, spheres of
radiance. A word is thus a living power, with an individuality embodied in its root and
affixes. It has a history; it has a character derived from its history. Every familiar phrase in
which it occurs, every great passage in literature in which it is found, every great occasion with
which it is associated, every honored name with which it is connected adds to its charm.
Every happy phrase in Gray's " Elegy in a Country Churchyard " adds to the charm
of every other. Every resonant word in the Declaration of Independence, or in Webster's
Speech for Liberty and Union, has new power, and when the great orator repeats the magic
words of Milton and Shakespeare he redoubles their harmonies. Every kind of favorable
influence combines to strengthen and beautify the moving idiom of our English Bible.
In order to aid workers in literature to perceive and enjoy these associations, the defi-
nitions here given are often turned so as to suggest the original thought of the word, the
beginning of its history, especially if it is derived from the name of some person or place worthy
of renown. In the group of words we have mentioned under Excitability ore Quixo-
tism, chivalry run mad in amiable madness, as in " Don Quixote " of Cervantes ; Agony,
like that of a wrestler in the Olympic games; Patience on a morfument, defined as
" smiling at grief," and given its Shakespearian grace by reference to " Twelfth Night "
ii, 4. There is Stoicism, dignifying the "Stoic of the Woods, the man without a tear,"
in Campbell's "Gertrude of Wyoming," and there are Chaucer's "making a virtue of
necessity;" Inextinguishable laughter of the gods, from Homer, "Iliad I, 268";
Volcanic, like the chimney of the forge of Vulcan; the Bible's itching ears;
Shakespeare's itching palm; Mens aequa in arduis, "equanimity in difficolUes,"
the trait of Warren Hastings recorded on his portrait at Calcutta.
In the reign of Qaeen Anne Englishmen spoke of living in theAugostan age of the Eng-
lish language j they thought it had reached perfection, and they wanted a dictionary that
should record the words then in use and be a standard for future generations. Dr. Johnson's
great dictionary was widely accepted as soch a standard. Authors of eminence were careful
not to use any word not in Johnson. Critics pounced upon every writer who strayed from the
standard. Slang was deadly sin. The golden age was to be kept pure from it forever.
There are still survivors of this period. Not long ago the " Sunday School Times " sent
out an inquiry about tireless and some eminent authors answered that they had thought
it good, but since it was not in Worcester or Webster, they would not use it.
Bet we have changed all that. We see that a language most change with each genera-
tion. If it is to live it most be sopplied with a constant inflow of new words, of which a vital
port comes from the feeling and imagination of persons who otter themselves in slang. A
living language is a lake from which there is a constant flow of words to the ocean of oblivion,
and which has a constant supply from the fountain of popular talk.
During the last half century more new words and phrases have poured into the
,£nglish language than in any century before; new arts and new sciences have swollen
the inflow. In this volume many new words will be found added to the old groups,
and a nomber of new groups have been gathered, chiefly words of the expanding sciences,
soch as biology, chemistry, and electricity. These we cordially commend to the atten-
tion and use of all students.
Those who may find expressions which they recognize as living slang worthy of
longer life, we advise to use it with some token, as Lord Bacon does, when he says, " It
is a doll thing to tire, and, as we say now, to Jade anything too for."

PREFACE
To the making of books there is no limit, but like the great numbers of fish in the sea, it is
the comparatively few that are worth the taking. The most valuable are those that give us the
most useful information, and such as we have most frequently to consult. An encyclopedia is
extremely valuable, but it is not so necessary for reference as a dictionary, nor is any other book
so beneficial for serving our daily needs. To live without a dictionary is to be deprived of the
means of understanding what we read, and, very often, what we hear. It is, indeed, the indis-
pensable requisite of every home.
Professor March's Thesaurus Dictionary is a work produced by the most famous, because the
most learned, lexicographer not only of America, but of the world. The service which Webster
performed, in giving us a good American Dictionary, which has served to enlarge our vocabulary
and thereby the better qualify us to express our thoughts, is one that entitles his memory to un-
fading praise. But great as was Webster's work, for the benefits named, that of Professor March
is a distinct and no less important step forward in helpful-
ness to a knowledge of the English Language, for his dic-
tionary not only prints definitions, but the chief purpose of
EMBARRASSMENTS OF AN INADE-
QUATE VOCABULART
his Thesaurus is to enable those who use it for reference to have at their command the exact words
required to definitely and forcibly express any idea they may wish to convey. What man or
woman, however learned or experienced, has mastered all, or more than a small fraction, of the
words that make up the total of the English language? It is not difficult to imagine with what
veneration the world would hold a person who is able to properly use, at will, every word printed
in unabridged dictionaries.
We observe the small child trying to express its thoughts, or longings, and smile at its use of
inapt terms and its frequent repetitions. The child has as yet learned the use of only a few words,
and this small vocabulary renders it necessary to make one word serve several meanings. The
very little knowledge that the child manifests is comparative only, for we as often see men of good
intelligence, and of education as well, who, for lack of an adequate vocabulary halt, repeat and
stumble, and make use of words that have small relevancy, in an effort to express an idea, or describe
a fact or thing.
But the difficulty of always recalling, or knowing the right word needed to convey exactly our
thoughts, is one which even the most fluent speakers and the most lucid writers encounter with such
frequency that search for the one word particularly desired for the occasion occupies so much of
their time that their minds are kept upon a great strain; or, as Richard Le Gallienne has de-
clared, "the search often becomes something like a tragedy." Indeed, it is said that Flaubert, one
of the most exact of French writers, sacrificed his life in the ardent pursuit of particular words.
The difficulty of selecting proper words in attempts to precisely convey our thoughts to others
comes from inadequacy on the one hand, and- exaggeration on the other. Ordinarily, we may be
able to make ourselves understood, even with a limited vocabulary, but it very frequently happens,
even to the most scholarly, that words are needed for uses and situations both subtle and complex,
and then it is that deficiency in word knowledge becomes a matter of intense irritation.
The English language is so rich that for every fact and feeling there is an exact word ; a word
in shape, size, color, and sound, that absolutely and uniquely embodies the fact and feeling one
desires to express. In short, the "unique," or exact word, is the very philosopher's stone of litera-
ture, and thus it is that the search for it is a life-time pursuit, followed with persistency and a
sense of profound annoyance, by all who write or speak.
But the scholarly writer, who has more frequent occasion to employ unusual words, and
therefore has need for the larger vocabulary, finds it quite as difficult to express himself as does
the ordinary business man, mechanic, farmer, or pupil. Indeed, as our professions and pursuits
modify our educational requirements, all persons in the range between the most highly cultured
and the least educated, find equal difficulty in recalling, on the moment, appropriate words neces-
sary to express ideas with definiteness.
For more than four centuries, as several cumbersome compilations of old lexicographers
show, efforts have been made to produce a book that would give immediate use of a comprehensive
vocabulary, but all such works of dictionary-makers were failures, so complete as to be of little
or no more use than the crude dictionaries of the times themselves. It must be apparent that such
a book, for great usefulness, must not only contain an unabridged collection of related words, in
alphabetical arrangement, but also the definition and pronunciation of each word, so that when
found its proper use is at once determined, without need of referring to a dictionary for an ex-
planation of the meaning. All the objections to previous compilations are removed by Professor
F. A. March's "Thesaurus Dictionary of the English Language," and besides making his work a
very marvel of word gathering, he has added many relevant features which serve to justify the
claim that, for its purposes, no book ever before published exceeds it in practical value and real im-
portance.
The production of a dictionary is an enterprise that necessarily involves an enormous expendi-
ture of money, and the employment of the best talent obtain-
able. But the compilation of a Thesaurus Dictionary is a
superlative work of importance and complexity, which requires
PRACTICAL USEFULNESS OF THE
THESAURUS
the very highest order of learning and the most critical accuracy in its several features of spelling,
pronunciation, concise definition, and shades of difference in the signification of related, or so-called
synonymous terms. These attentions are extremely necessary, as every one n ust appreciate,
but infinitely more exhaustive and critical is the labor of bringing together into close and alpha-
betical association, for prompt reference, all the words of the English language in their respective
relationships of significance.
Webster's Dictionary provides a means whereby we may quickly ascertain the meaning of
any word in our language. Professor March's Thesaurus gives the same knowledge, but in addition
thereto it enables any one to reclaim a word forgotten ; to recover and correctly use a word needed
to convey exactly an idea. Every day you are vexed by vain efforts to recall a word, which
you may know exists, that will definitely, precisely, express an idea which you wish to convey.
Everybody is troubled in the same way. Well, by the quick aid of the Thesaurus Dictionary
you can promptly find the needed word, quite as easy as it is to find the definition of a given
word in Webster's. More than this even, this Thesaurus will suggest a word which you may re-
quire; to find any term it is necessary merely to refer to a simple word that has some relation, in
significance, to the idea sought to be conveyed, whereupon you are directed, by reference words,
printed in small capital letters, to the captions under which will be found all the words that
have any affinity to the subject in mind. This is accomplished by a practical system of
alphabetic grouping of all words of our language according to their relationships in meaning.
Or, to explain more lucidly, a word is taken; for example, let the word be " Good" or " Good-
ness," page 460. We turn to this word in its alphabetical arrangement, just as in any dictionary,
and there we find it given, with definition, but immediately following we find also every important
word in our language that has any relationship to "Goodness." And besides the words and defi-
nitions under the caption "Goodness" we find also the foreign phrases — all phonetically pro
vi
nounced — that one is liable to meet with in reading upon a subject allied to "Goodness." More-
over, it will be noticed that in the column directly opposite the caption word is "Badness," or the
antithesis of "Goodness," and under that term will be found every important word in our language
that is associated with evil, together also with the foreign phrases applicable thereto.
Thus it will be observed that to facilitate the search for particular words needed, this system
of grouping all related terms is perfected by printing all words alphabetically, and also by placing
the positive term with its negative in parallel columns. Thus, in the example given, Goodness
is the caption word of one column, with all its kindred terms following, while in the opposite parallel
column, appears the antithetical caption, Badness, with its related terms. We will find the
same category of words of related significance if we refer to any word that has affinity in meaning
for either "good" or "bad."
Any word followed up in the Thesaurus will serve to illustrate how this great service is per-
formed, and, for a specific example, let us take the positive and negative terms, "Faith-Misgiving,"
page 389, and three pages following. Here you will find, under this caption, every word, synonym
and its opposite, that has any relationship, in significance, to these two terms, a list which com-
prises 350 words and phrases. This list is multiplied by following the correlated divisions under
such captions as "Godliness-Ungodliness," page 454; "Bigotry-Apostasy," page 106; "Up-
rightness-Dishonesty," page 1123; "Orthodoxy-Heterodoxy," page 739; "Credulousness- Skepticism,"
page 241; "Theology," page 1058; "Sanguineness-Hopelessness," page 933; "Observance-Non-Observ-
ance," page 719, etc. Similarly there is a complete list of all kindred words pertaining to the
subjects: "Beauty-Ugliness," page 92; "Creation-Destruction," page 237; "Affluence-Penury,"
page 27; "Astronomy," page 76, etc. It will be noticed also that while all associated words are
given alphabetically, each one is concisely defined so as to show clearly the different shades of
meaning. Besides this, you will find incorporated in the extensive category of related terms,
many foreign phrases duly translated, and that the grammati-
cal analysis throughout is complete. The same systematic and
exhaustive collection of kindred words and phrases will be found
SYSTEMATIC GROUPIHG AlfD
WORD ANALYSIS
if we examine other terms.
It is the man or woman who has the largest command of language that is able to express an
idea with the greatest force and clearness. Those who have a copious vocabulary are the ones
who speak most eloquently and write most graphically. The Thesaurus Dictionary is, of course,
of most pronounced value to professional people, the author, journalist, lawyer, minister, public
speakers, teachers; in short, to those who write most; but its usefulness to all classes is exceed-
ingly great. All men and women, as well as all boys and girls, are trying to increase their knowl-
edge, for the more we know, either by study or experience, the better qualified we become to
deal with practical affairs of life.
Students need the Thesaurus Dictionary more than they do any other book; not because it
is a working dictionary, but especially because it enables them to write and to speak with precision,
accuracy and elegance. It qualifies them, without study, to prepare essays, to handle subjects,
to make themselves prime factors in public life ; this service it performs by enlarging their vocabu-
lary, by making them masters of the language, and by suggesting ideas that lie crystallized in
words. It is likewise an inspiration, encouraging to loftiest efforts, for the student who once
becomes imbued with the spirit of authorship is pretty certain to develop into a person of marked
influence and prominent importance.
The man or woman who writes for the press, or who speaks in public, will find the Thesaurus
Dictionary an aid of inestimable value. Consultation of its vocabulary lists of related terms,
in the search for a word required to express exactly a given idea, not only results in finding the
definite term desired, but also in suggesting new ideas, for it very often happens to writers that a
sudden calling to mind of a specially significant word leads to a fresh line of thought or may even
modify preconceived opinions.
No other book is such a stimulus to the child at school, and no other confers so many distinct
benefits. When a pupil is required by its teacher to prepare a composition, embarrassment is great
because the child has few ideas and a knowledge of few words with which to express them. By
the aid of the Thesaurus these obstacles to composition are immediately removed, for a subject
being given by its teacher, the child may turn to a word related to the subject, under
which it will find at once every word, with definition, that appertains in anywise to the subject
and by so doing it acquires a copious vocabulary for its purpose, as well also many new ideas that
are suggested by the information thus obtained. There is no subject, whether simple, profound,
technical; whether it concerns the animal, the vegetable, or the mineral kingdoms; whether it
touches upon science, social problems, political economy, faith, doctrine, home-life, marriage,
affection, agriculture, mechanics, war, history, poetry, school, — in short it matters not what the sub-
ject may be, by consulting this Thesaurus the child obtains, almost at a glance, all the words, and
very much of the information, that is needed to write about it intelligently. At the same time
the child also learns how to construct its sentences grammatically. This acquisition of a large
vocabulary will influence a majority of children to aspire to authorship, and inevitably lead to
investigation and scholarship, an important consideration.
They are few who understand the grammar of our language. One may have an extensive
vocabulary and yet be unable to write or speak correctly. The Thesaurus Dictionary not only
affords the means of choosing the right word at the right time, and of giving complete mastery of
every term in our language for immediate use, but it also presents the words, names the parts of
speech, gives concise definitions in every case, prints all the
synonyms and their opposites, and shows all words and
phrases in their grammatical relationships.
MASTERY OF VOCABULARY AND
GRAMMAR
The English language is a rapidly growing one. Dr. Johnson's Dictionary contained nearly one
hundred thousand words, whereas to-day the largest dictionary has three hundred thousand words.
This rapid increase is due to the incorporation of slang words, progress and discoveries in science, and
coinages by the ignorant no less than by the learned. The Thesaurus Dictionary, being the very
latest compilation, contains all the recent additions, including terms used in electricity, radiography,
automobiling, telephony, science, signaling, commerce, political economy, questions of the day;
in fact, of every acquisition, in science, society, business and government; and in giving the defini-
tions of terms it imparts most instructive information.
Every reader is almost constantly meeting with words or phrases of foreign speech, of which
neither translation nor pronunciation is given. This is a matter of intense annoyance to persons
who cannot translate for themselves, as the use of such interjections often destroys the sense of
connection in the reading. In the Thesaurus Dictionary you will find all such words and phrases,
in French, German, Spanish, Italian, Latin, Greek, not only fully translated but also phonetically,
hence most exactly, pronounced.
The Thesaurus Dictionary of the English Language is presented by the publishers
with the sincere belief that its uniqueness will commend it no less than the real practical value it
will be found to afford all who consult its pages. Expense has not been spared in the prepara-
tion, either in the compilation or mechanical production, because so great a conception as the work
embodies is worthy the most perfect realization.

A Key to Egyptian Characters
The Rosetta Stone contains a decree
that is written in three totally different
styles of characters, namely, hieroglyphic,
demotic and Greek; the first was used
by the priesthood and by learned Egyp-
tians, the second was the form of writ-
ing employed by the common people,
while the Greek was used upon this
occasion to communicate the decree to
foreigners. It was by comparing the
hieroglyphic and demotic, which could not
at the time be read, with the Greek, which
was well known, that Champollion dis-
covered the key to hieroglyphic writing.

THE EVOLUTION OF WRITING
The means of communicating desires, ideas, information by one person to another, and espe-
cially the means of transmitting such expressions between individuals, constitute one of the most,
probably the very most, interesting phase of race development. Speech, no doubt, came
naturally, even as feeling and desire, but writing was bora of necessity, or, rather, invented to
meet an indispensable need. The evolution of writing, from crude symbolism, and pictorial repre-
sentation of objects, used by the earliest peoples, is almost obtrusively, persistently, interesting to all
intelligent persons, for the advance of civilization, with all that it implies, is not more certainly
and objectively shown than by the written records graven on stone, scratched on bone, impressed
in bricks, painted on papyrus, and traced on scrolls, that bestrew the path of the millenniums of
human existence. Some of the very antique examples of writing are here exhibited, and the few

THE ROSETTA STONE
Nothing is left of Egyptian buildings except their graves and temples. These, by their inscrip-
tions, were destined to revive interest in the ancient civilization of Egypt. The knowledge of the
writings and speech of ancient Egypt had long ago been entirely forgotten. It was left to the
nineteenth century to find the key for deciphering the old Egyptian hieroglyphic writings.
France deserves especiai mention as having been the first to show an interest in this study, and
it is to a Frenchman that we owe the first attempt at a scientific study of the subject. The capital
of France, too, was the first seat devoted to the pursuit of these studies under the leadership of
Francois Champollion, the founder of the science, and his successors, Emmanuel de Rouge1 and
G. Maspero.
The era of scientific investigation of Egyptian affairs begins with Napoleon Bonaparte and
Francois Champollion. Leibnitz, the famous German philosopher, v/as the first to arouse the
interest of Louis XIV. by a memoir on Egypt, which Napoleon is said to have found in the royal
Archives and made use of in his Egyptian expedition. He set sail on the 19th of May, 1798,
accompanied by a number of learned men. The results of the
DISCOVERY OF THE KEY TO
EGYPTIAN WRITING
scientific investigations were published in a work of thirty-six
volumes, twelve volumes of illustrations, and twenty-four of
text, entitled "Description de l'Egypte, ou recueil des observa-
tions et des recherches pendant l'expedition de l'armee Francaise." This gave a great impetus to
Egyptian studies. It is safe to say that with this work, and with the investigations conducted
in connection with the discovery of the famous Rosetta stone during the same expedition by a
French engineer in 1799, begins the scientific study of a branch of learning leading with certain
aim to a complete explanation of Egyptian antiquity.
A great deal of matter is found concerning Egypt in ancient and mediaeval literature — Greek,
Christian, and Arabic, but it is of no scientific value. As far as the eighteenth century no one
succeeded in deciphering any of the hieroglyphic writings. Attempts were made and scholars
varied to such an extent that while one maintained that a certain inscription dealt with Christian
mysteries, another insisted that the subject matter was moral and political maxims, a third made
it a festal calendar, and a fourth regarded it as a treatise on the magnet and use of the compass.
At this point came the discovery of the Rosetta stone, now in the British Museum.
ix
This stone of dark basalt, now very badly broken at both ends, must have had the same form
as that most commonly employed in stones set up in honor of gods and kings as well as in memorials
set up in temples and graves. (A restoration of the form of the Rosetta stone in this wise is given
in Eduard Meyer's "Geschichte des alten Egyptens," I: page 284.) On this stone a decree of the
priests was published in the reign of Ptolemy Epiphanes, which announced that the Egyptian
priesthood resolved to thank the young king for the numerous benefits bestowed by him upon the
land, and especially upon the Egyptian temples, and they ordered all divine honors to be paid him
and his statues, which were to be set up next to those of the chief divinity in all temples of the first,
second and third rank. This decree was composed in hieroglyphic signs, and in the so-called
demotic, enchoric or epistolographic script of the common people, and a Greek translation was
added. That the contents of the three different writings are the same is proved from the conclusion
of the Greek text which clearly reads [that the decree shall be engraved on a stele of] hard stone in
the sacred writing, in the enchoric and Greek writing, and be set up in every temple of the first,
second [and third rank next to the statue of the king, the ever-living]. (The words in the above
passage enclosed in square brackets are broken off the stone, but they can with certainty be supplied
from the hieroglyphic and demotic text which can now be read.)
TRANSLA TION OF THE GREEK TEXT
In the reign of the young king who received the kingdom from his father, lord of diadems,
greatly glorious, who has established Egypt, and pious toward the gods is superior to his enemies,
who has set right the life of men, lord of feasts of thirty years, like Hephaestus the great king, like
the Sun the great king of both the upper and lower countries, offspring of the gods Philopators,
whom Hephaestus approved, to whom the Sun gave victory, the living image of Zeus, son of the
Sun, Ptolemy the ever-living, beloved of Phtha; in the ninth year: Aetus, the son of Aetus, being
priest of Alexander, of the gods Soters, of the gods Adelphi, of the gods Evergetae, of the gods
Philopators, and of the god Epiphanes Eucharistus ; the athlophorus of Berenice Evergetes being
Pyrrah, daughter of Philinus; the canephorus of Arsinoe Philadelphus, Areia, daughter of Diogenes;
the priestess of Arsinoe Philopator being Irene, daughter of Ptolsmy ; of the month Xandicus, the
fourth, but according to the Egyptians, the eighteenth of Mechir-Decree.
The chief priests and prophets, and those who enter the sanctuary for the arraying of the gods,
and the pterophorae, and sacred scribes, and all the other priests who were come from the temples

Eucharistus, offspring of King Ptolemy and Queen Arsinoe,

all those living under his sway, that being a god, born of a god, and a goddess, like Horus the son
of Isis and Osiris, of a liberal disposition towards the gods, he has dedicated to the temples reve-
nues both of money and provisions and has undergone great expenses in order to bring back
Egypt to quietness, and to establish religious observances; with all the means in his power he has
shown kindness ; of the taxes and imposts existing in Egypt some he has taken away entirely, and
others he has lightened, that the people and all others might be in prosperity under his rule; the
crown debts which those in Egypt and in the rest of his kingdom owed, being very considerable,
he has remitted to all, and those shut up in prison for such debts, and those lying under
accusation for a long time, he released from the claims against them; also he commanded
the revenues of the temples and the contributions of provisions and money made to them
yearly; and in like manner the just portions of the goods from the vineyards and gardens, and
what else belonged to the gods in the time of his father, should remain upon the same basis;

INSCRIPTION ON THE SARCOPHAGUS OF ESMUNAZAR,
KING OF SIDON
On the 2otn of February, 1855, Mr. Peretie, Chancellor of the French Consulate at Beyrouth, Palestine,
having undertaken excavations on a piece of ground twenty-five minutes' walk south of Sayda, the ancient Sidon,
was informed that his agent had unearthed there a coffin of black basalt, near a rock against which it rested.
Besides the sarcophagus, a tooth, a piece of bone, and later a human jaw, were found in the rubbish. The
sarcophagus itself was of that Egyptian form peculiar to mummy cases, i. e., oblong, like a body wrapped
up to the neck in thick bands, whose head, cut out with broad head-dress and straight plaited beard, alone remains
uncovered, wearing a rich broad chain in relief, at each extremity of which is a head of a sacred hawk, such as one
often sees on the neck of Egyptian mummies. But instead of being adorned with hieroglyphics the sarcophagus
discovered by Peretie bears along its whole height an inscription in twenty-two lines, written in Phoenician char-
acters, well preserved and written with especial care to avoid confusing letters somewhat similar in form. As in
most Phoenician inscriptions the words are not separated, and this continuity is the only real obstacle to a certain
translation.
The dimensions of the coffin are 2 m. 45 cm. by 1 m. 40 cm., (about 8 feet 2 in. by 4 feet 4 in.) and the
inscription which covers it occupies a square of 84 cm. on each side. Another inscription is found around the
head of the body at the exterior extremity of the sarcophagus which is, however, simply a reproduction of a part
of the first inscription.
The inscription is that of King Esmunazar of Sidon, and is the most important Phoenician inscription yet
found. Whereas the Phoenician inscriptions found hitherto were in the Phoenician colonies, this one belonged to
the mother country. Its importance lies not only in the fact that it definitely proves the Phoenician language to
have been almost identical with the Hebrew, but it also, more than any other, gives us an insight into the religious
views of the Phoenicians and the political institutions of Sidon.
It is a funeral inscription in which Esmunazar, King of Sidon, about 572 B. C, adjures all persons, under
pain of eternal damnation, not to disturb his "bed of rest."
TRANSLATION
In the month of Bui (October), in the fourteenth year of his reign — of King Esmunazar, King of the
Sidonians, son of King Tebnet, King of the Sidonians — spoke King Esmunazar, King of the Sidonians, as follows:
I have been taken away before my time, a small number of days old. With this my highness is at an end. I lie
dead in this coffin and in this grave in the place which I have built. I adjure every royal person and every man —
that he open not this bed of rest, or search in it precious things, for there lie no precious things in it; that he
remove not my sarcophagus, or put me into another bed of rest. Even if people induce you listen not to them;
for every royal person and every man who opens the lid of this coffin or who takes my coffin away or who removes
:ne who am in this coffin — may he have no funeral bed among the shades; may they be buried in no grave; may they
leave after them neither sons nor posterity. May the. holy gods deliver them to a violent ruler, who shall have
power over them to destroy them. Concerning same royal person or (private) man who opens the lid of this
funeral bed, or who removes this coffin; and concerning the offspring of same royal person or (private) people — -
may they have neither root below, nor fruit above, nor form in life under the sun. Yea, I, deserving of pity,
have been taken away before my time, of a limited number of days. Now my highness with this is at an end. I am
dead. Namely I, Esmunazar, King of the Sidonians, son of Tebnet, King of the Sidonians, grandson of Esmu-
nazar, King of the Sidonians, and my mother Amaastart, Priestess of our Lady Astarte, the queen daughter of
King Esmunazar, King of the Sidonians — we who have built the temples of the gods, the temple of Astarte in
Sidon, land of the sea, and have given a dwelling to Astarte as the highest person; and it was we who have
built a temple for Esmun near the source, the spring of Idll in the mountains, and have given him a habitation
as the highest person ; and it was we who built (again) temples for the gods of the Sidonians in Sidon, city of the
sea — a temple of Baal Sidon and a temple of Astarte of the name of Baal. And further: — the Lord of Kings
gave us Dor and Joppa — the lordly lands of grain, which lie in the field of Saron, in recompense for a great tribute
which I have offered ; and we added them to the domain of the land to belong to the Sidonians forever.
I adjure, every royal person and every (private) man, neither to open the lid, nor to tear off the lid nor to
remove me who am in the funeral bed, nor to remove my sarcophagus, in order that those holy gods may not
deliver them up, so that the same royal person or (private) man and their posterity be destroyed forever.
SARCOPHAGUS OF THE KING OF SIDON
The inscription on the sarcophagus of King Esmunazar is translated into
English and appears, with description of the coffin in which the royal remains were
found, on the accompanying tissue title-page. Observe, that while the sarcopha-
gus is distinctively Egyptian, the inscription is Phoenician, thus marking tho
affinity of the two races and illustrating, in a way the evolution, in writing, of the
latter from the former.

HOW HE SUBDUED THE
ENEMIES OF EGYPT
he commanded also concerning the priests that they should give nothing more for graduation fee
than was imposed up to the first year in his father's reign ; he released also those of the sacred tribes
of the voyage yearly down to Alexandria, also he ordered the collection of naval supplies not to be
made ; of the contribution of fine linen cloth made in the temples for the royal palace, he remitted
two-thirds; what had been neglected in former times he restored to proper order, taking care that
what was accustomed should be performed for the gods as was fitting; likewise also he allotted
justice to all as Hermes the twice great; he ordered also that those who returned, both of the soldiers
and others of the opposition in the times of the disturbance, on coming back be kept in possession
of their property; he took care also that there should go out forces, of horse and foot and ships,
against those invading Egypt both by sea and land, undergoing great expenses, both of money and
provisions, that the temples and all the people of Egypt might be in safety; being present also at
Lycopolis in Busiris, which had been taken and fortified against a siege by a very abundant supply
of arms and all other munition, since for a long time the rebellion had existed among those impious
ones gathered there, who had done to the temples and the inhabitants of Egypt much evil, and
laying siege to it, he surrounded it with embankments and ditches and walls very remarkable; the
great rise which the Nile made in the eighth year (and it was accustomed to flood the plains), he
restrained at many places, securing the mouths of the canals, expending on these of money no
small amount, and stationing horse and foot soldiers to guard them; in a little time he took the
city by storm, and all the impious in it he destroyed as Hermes, and Horus the son of Isis and
Osiris, overpowered those who in the same parts had revolted
in former times; the ringleaders also of the revolters in his
father's reign who had troubled the country and outraged the
temples, being at Memphis the avenger of his father and of
his own crown, all these he punished justly, at the time when he was there for his performance
of the rites proper for the reception of the crown : he remitted also the debts owed in the
temples to the palace up to the eighth year, amounting to no small quantity of provisions
and money; likewise also the value of the linen cloths due which had not been given in to
the palace; and, of those which had been given in, the replacement of such as differed from the
pattern up to the same date; he released the temples also of the appointed artaba per aroura
of the sacred land, and in like manner as to the ceramium per aroura of the vineyards ; to Apis
and Mneris he made many gifts, as also to the other sacred animals of Egypt, having much
better care than the kings before him for what belonged to them in all respects, and giving bounti-
fully and nobly what was proper for their funerals with the dues for the support of their respective
worships with sacrifices and panagyries and the other usual rites. The prerogatives of the temples
and of Egypt he has carefully kept upon the same basis agreeably to the laws ; he has adorned the
Apieum with costly works expending upon it of gold and silver and precious stones no small amount,
and has founded temples and shrines and altars; what had need of repair he restored, having the
disposition of a beneficent god in what concerns the divinity; learning by means of additional
enquiry their state he has restored the most honored of the temples; in return for which the gods
have given him health, victory, strength, and all other good things, the kingdom being assured to
him and his children to all time.
With good fortune: It has seemed good to the priests of all the temples of the land to decree
to augment greatly all honors now paid to the ever-living King Ptolemy, beloved of Phtha, god
Epiphanes Eucharistus, and likewise those of his ancestors the gods Philopators and of his ancestors
gods Evergetae and of the gods Adelphi, and those of the gods Soters, to erect of the ever-living
King Ptolemy, god Epiphanes Eucharistus, an image in each temple in the most conspicuous place;
which shall be entitled " Ptolemy the defender of Egypt," near which shall stand the god to whom
the temple belongs, presenting to him a conquering weapon, which arrangements will be made in
the manner of the Egyptians; also for the priests to perform a service before these images three
times each day, and put on them the sacred adorning, and perform the other accustomed rites,
as to the other gods in the panagyries of Egypt ; to set up for King Ptolemy, god Epiphanes Eucha-
ristus, offspring of King Ptolemy and Queen Arsinoe, god6 Philopators, a statue and a shrine, both
gilded in each of the temples, and to place this in the sanctuaries with the other shrines, and in the
great panagyries in which processions of the shrines take place, for the shrine of the god Epiphanes
Eucharistus to go out with them ; that it may be well marked both now and for future time, to place
upon the shrine the ten golden ornaments of the king to which shall be affixed an asp, similar to
the adorning of asp-like ornaments which are upon the other shrines in the midst of which shall be
the crown called " Schent" which he wore when he entered the temple at Memphis for the perform-
ance in it of the rites proper for the assumption of the crown ; to place upon the platform of the
ornaments about the aforesaid crown ten golden phylacteries on which shall be written "this is

which the birthday festivities of the king are celebrated, and
in like manner the seventeenth of Mechir, in which he received
the kingdom from his father, have been named after him in
the temples, which certainly are harbingers of much good to all, to celebrate these days (the
seventeenth and thirtieth) feasts and panagyries in the temples of Egypt monthly, and to per-
form in them sacrifices and libations and what else is proper, as in the other panagyries; to
give the usual public notices to all for what is to be offered in the temples; to celebrate a feast and
a panagyry to the ever-living and beloved of Phtha, King Ptolemy, god Epiphanes Eucharistus,
each year in the temples throughout the land, from the new moon of the Thoth for five days, in
which also they shall wear garlands, performing sacrifices and libations and what else is proper;
to call the priests of the temples of the land, also priests of the god Epiphanes Eucharistus, in addi-
tion to the other names which they had from the gods whom they serve, and to inscribe on all their
documents and on, the seal-rings on their hands their priesthood to him; that it be lawful to the
rest, private person to celebrate the feast and set up the aforesaid shrine having it in their houses,
performing what is right in the feasts both monthly and yearly, in order that it may be known why
the people of Egypt magnify and honor the god Epiphanes Eucharistus the king as is just, to write
this decree upon a column of hard stone in sacred and enchorial and Greek letters and place it in
each of the temples of the first, second and third order near the image of the ever-living king.
GUDEA, KING OF SHIRPURLA
The statues of Gudea belong to the monuments of Telloh discovered by excavations conducted
under the superintendence of Ernest de Sarzec, French consul at Bagdad, 1877-1882. It is of
Gudea that the larger and more important part of the monuments of Telloh preserve the memory:
eight statues, two large cylinders of clay, and hundreds of fragments or small texts — now in the
Louvre. Gudea was king of Shirpurla, the modern Telloh, in Southern Babylonia, about B. C. 3 100.
This statue — one of eight — is designated B, and is covered all around with cuneiform inscriptions.
The plate represents the right profile of the statue, with part of the inscription. The translation
of the whole is as follows :
In the temple of the god Nin-girsu, his king, the statue of Gudea, the patesi of Shirpurla, who
'the temple Eninnu has constructed: 1 qa of fermented liquor, 1 qa of food, half a qa of
half a qa of . . . . such are the offerings which it institutes.
As for the patesi who shall revoke them, who the orders of the
god Nin-girsu shall transgress, let the offerings instituted by
him in the temple of the god Nin-girsu be revoked! Let the
commands of his mouth be annulled!

TRANSLATION OF THE
CUNEIFORM INSCRIPTION
A Very Ancient Cuneiform
Inscription
Next to the hieroglyphic characters
peculiar to Egypt, the cuneiform style of
writing is probably the most ancient, of
which any decipherable specimens have
been found. The inscription on the statue
of Gudea, one of the Kings of Southern
Babylonia, is a splendid example of the
characters used by the ancient and power-
ful Babylonians, who arrived at a consider-
able state of civilization and literary
culture more than five thousand years ago,
which carries us back, according to Bible
chronology, to almost the time of Noah.
STATUE OF GUDEA, KING OF SHIRPURLA.
Gudea was a king of Southern Babylonia, about B.C. 3100, and the cuneiform inscription on his statue is there-
fore one of the oldest that has been discovered. The inscription, which is of great length, appeals to the gods of
Babylonia, as witnesses to the justice of Gudea's rulership.

by the goddess Bau, the offspring of the goddess Gutumdug, dowered with sovereignty and the
sceptre supreme by the god Galalim, proclaimed afar among living creatures by the god Dunshaga,

joists of Zabanum trees, of great shaku trees, of tulubum trees, and of gin trees, he has caused to

statue he has caused it to be cut. "O my king, whose temple I have built, may life be my recom-

Gudea unto the statue has given command: "To the statue of my king speak!" After that the
temple Eninnu, his favorite temple I had constructed, I have remitted penalties, I have given
presents. During seven days obeisance has not been exacted; the female slave has been made
the equal of her mistress; the male slave has been made
the equal of his master; in my city the chief of his subject
has been made the equal. All that is evil from this temple
I have removed. Over the commands of the goddess Nina

HITTITE INSCRIPTIONS
"A considerable number of Hittite monuments have been found, which help us to a clearer understanding
of the history of this people than we could get from Biblical, Egyptian, and cuneiform data alone. At Carchemish
and Hamath have been unearthed remains of sculptures accompanied by inscriptions, and elsewhere in this
region, as at Zenjirli, there are abundant traces of Hittite art. Thanks to the researches of Jensen, it may now
be regarded as certain that the inscriptions cover the period 1200-800 B. C. It is fair to presume that the lan-
guage of all the so-called Hittite inscriptions is the same, although it may be added that several styles of Hittite
characters may be distinguished, some being pictorial, others branching off into conventional forms, with a strong
tendency towards becoming linear. The decipherment of the Hittite inscriptions which would throw so much
needed light on the ethnic problems is now being vigorously prosecuted. After several attempts on the part of
Sayce, Peiser, and Halevy, which constituted an opening wedge, Jensen has recently struck a new path which gives
promise of leading, ere long, to a satisfactory solution of the mystery. He has identified ideographs and sign
groups for the names of countries and gods, some of which appear to be established beyond reasonable doubt.
So far as Jensen's decipherment has gone, the inscriptions— some thirty in all — contain little beyond the names
and titles of rulers, lands, and gods, with brief indication of conquests. The Hittite script appears to have been
taken over from the Egyptian hieroglyphics, though it seems also certain that it contains elements which are
either original or derived from some source that is still unknown. "
The plate represents one of the stones found in Jerabis, or Carchemish. These stones are now in the British
Museum, and we are indebted for them to George Smith and Consul Henderson. They arc among the best
specimens of Hittite inscriptions yet found. According to Jensen, their date is between 950 and 750 B. C. There
are four columns of inscription on the stone, only two of which are represented in the fac-simile.
Following is an attempt made by Peter Jensen to decipher the inscription :
I am -[ ]-z-s (name) of Carchemish the powerful, the king, the king, the P, the prince of the land, the priest-
king (?) the .... z-T one of the land, of Carchemish, the powerful, the king one of the land
of Carchemish, the powerful, of the king, , ... ot a .... a ... . son . . .
HIMYARITIC INSCRIPTION OF HADAKAN
Himyaritic or Sabaean is a name applied to the former people of southwestern Arabia, or Yemen, and to the
remains of their civilization, consisting of extensive ruins, with numerous inscriptions (the oldest from long
before our era). The language belongs to the Arabic division of the West Semitic group, and has its in
relative in the idiom of the central and north Arabian Bedouins, r; a literary language by Mohammed,
but especially is the Ethiopic nearly related to it.
The present inscription was found by Eduard Glaser (who made four journeys to the East in the years 1885-86,
1887-88, and 1892-04 [?] and brought back over a thousand inscriptions) in Yemen, South Arabia, in a village
called Hadakan, near an estate now called Bait Mukbil Dugaish. The stone is kept in the royal museum of
Berlin. It is 92 om.. (origin ally 94 cm., about 2 feet 6 in.) wide and 41 cm. high (about 14 in). When found it
was walled into a recent building, and when taken out the left edge and lower part were gone. Eight lines are
almost complete and a few obliterated traces of the ninth.
It is a dedicatory inscription in which the devotee declares that he dedicates to Talab his own person and
his children and all his possessions. The reason for his action was probably contained in that part of the inscrip-
tion which is missing.
TRAXSLATIO.X
Juhain du bin, son of Jasmail, son of Sumhukarib, king of the tribe of Sama, dedicated to Talab at Zabjan
his own person and his sons Zaid and Zaidil and all his children and his personal property, and his castle Jand
and his estates Talik, and all his possessions and the possessions of his father Jasmail, and the possessions and
the pastures and the coastland and the castles and the estates of the heritage of the ancestor of both of them —
Sumhuafaq, son of Sumhujafa, king of the tribe of Sama, together with the precinct* and the city; and his pasture
land Naman which has been cultivated and presented to Juhain by the Amu (a priestly officer [?] ) of Bakr and
Hauffatt and Himmatatt and Hautaratt and by the Amu of Hautaratt and ArriusafaCj and Juhain and Amm
Sama and Gan and Zirr and their brothers, the sons of Rviban; and his land Sumhuali in the neighborhood of
the Wady of Hadakan which was acquired and founded by the Amu of Atnmsafaq, son of Sariw, prince of Jursim;
and his land Dat-Daah and the sacred houses which he built there, with the gifts given by his fathers and his
uncles, the princes of Juhajbib, to whom they had Seen presented by the kings of Marjab and the tribe Sama —
namely the battlefield (?) of the land Du-Daah; and by means of the gifts presented to him by Karibail Watar,
king of Saba, and by means of the gifts and presents which the tribe Sama presented to him, and by means of
the gifts and thankofferings which were made by Jatakarib son of Parahel. son of Tuhafri of Ahranan, and his
lar.d Hais
SPECIMEN OF HITTITE PICTURE WRITING.
The Hittite race, or tribe, has been an unsolved problem with
ethnologists — whence they came, whither departed, — the most we
have been able to learn being derived from the Scriptures. The
illustration above shows part of a monument found in Arabia, par-
ticularly described and the inscription deciphered in the accom-
panying tissue title-page.
HIMYARITIC INSCRIPTIONS. U N
The example of Himyaritic inscription exhibited above is of
particular interest to students of language development in that it
represents, apparently, a transition from Ethiopic to Astatic charac-
ter writing, probably five hundred or more years before the
Christian era. See description and decipherment on the
title-page herewith.

HOW TO USE THE THESAURUS.
To the vast majority, the use of this Thesaurus Dictionary of the English Language presents no mors
difficulties, for lack of understanding the plan adopted, than does any dictionary; but as its purpose is not
limited to defining words, its wider sphere and usefulness being to suggest particular words or phrases as
they may be required to definitely express a given idea, a brief explanation of how its fullest benefits may
be obtained is appropriate.
All vocabulary words are printed in brevier black face type; all definitions thereof appear in brevier
lower case Roman. The reference words are printed in brevier small caps, under which heads the person
consulting the dictionary must look to find any particular word desired. Thus, for example, take any word
in the vocabulary, there will be found immediately following the definition, words printed in small caps,
which are the reference words. These words must be looked up in their alphabetical position in the vocabulary,
and under them will be found groups containing the word examined and words of related significance Phrases
and idioms are printed in black face type; foreign phrases appear in brevier italics, and their phonetic pronun-
ciation, is parentheses, are in brevier lower case Roman. The foreign languages are indicated thus [F.],
meaning French; [It.], Italian; [G.J, German; [Sp.], Spanish; [L], Latin; [Gr.], Greek. Those translations which
appear in the vocabulary proper are printed in brevier lower case Roman. Captions, to which the references
direct, appear in capital letters, with positive and negative terms compounded, under which appear all asso-
ciated words, printed in nonpareil black face type, and the definitions in nonpareil lower case Roman. The
analysis of words, and their grammatical relationships, are printed under in nonpareil small caps. Captions,
denoting parts of speech and their relationship, are in italics. By observing these explanations no difficulty
will ever be encountered in using the Thesaurus, or in obtaining the information which it is intended to supply.
THIS LINE IS CAPITAL LETTERS, USED IN CAPTIONS.
This line is brevier small caps. (Used for reference words.)
This line is brevier lower case Roman. (Used for definitions.)
This line is brevier black face type. (Used for vocabulary words.)
This line is nonpareil small caps. (For captions of synonyms.)
This line is nonpareil lower case Roman. (For definitions of synonyms )
This line is italics. (For foreign words and grammatical designations )
This line is nonpareil black face type. (For associated words.)
Two words used with hyphen are compounded.
A KEY TO PRONUNCIATION.
The English words printed in this Thesaurus are easily pronounced by any one giving attention to the accent
marks at the end of syllables. The single accent mark — thus, ' — indicates the primary inflection, or the syllable
upon which the greater stress must be laid. The double accent mark — thus, " — shows the secondary inflection,
directing that some stress shall be laid, but less than that indicated by the primary accent.
The pronunciation of all foreign phrases is found in parentheses following. Note well these indications.
Wherever the phonetic a is found, it is to be pronounced as in sofa, partake; where the phonetic v occurs,
it indicates such a sound as u in cup. The diphthong ai is sounded as ai in aisle and i in pine; au as ou in the
word house. When iu appears, it equals the sound in mute. The phonetic letter H equals the German sound
in the word ach; the inverted period placed beside the letter n, in any French word, gives it a broad, nasal
sound. Thus, bon' is pronounced somewhat like ong, in song, except that the g is silent; zh should generally be
sounded as an aspirate, as g in mirage (mirazh').
Respellings for pronunciation have been given for all foreign words and phrases at their vocabulary places
in this dictionary.
The Latin words have been pronounced according to the English method.
English words have been divided into syllables and the accented syllables marked.
In the respellings the ordinary Roman types have been used so far as possible.
Instead of using diacritics for peculiar sounds of a and u.the standard types of the American Philological
Association have "been adopted.
The letters b, d, f, h, j, k, 1, m, n, o, p, q, r, t, v, w, have been used with their ordinary normal values.
The following letters have been used with values as indicated :
a
as in far.

as in car.
e

HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.
ORIGIN OF THE LANGUAGE.
The English language is the speech spoken
by the Anglo-Saxon race in England, the larger
parts of Scotland and Ireland, the United
States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South
Africa and in many other parts of the world.
It is the language of perhaps one hundred and
thirty million people, and the number is rapid-
ly growing.
Original British Language. — The original
language of Great Britain, Ireland and parts of
France belonged to the Celtic group, and it is
still spoken in Wales, Brittany (France), the
Scottish Highlands, and Western Ireland. This
Celtic speech has, in the course of time, con-
tributed some of its words to the English
language.
Family of English Speech. — English speech,
as we now know it, belongs to that great fam-
ily of languages which was spoken by the
Aryan race, or races. This race originally in-
habited the high table lands of Asia lying north
of the western range of the Himalaya Moun-
tains. Thence it spread to the South and West,
peopling many countries, and becoming the
source of the languages now spoken in India,
Persia, Greece, Italy, France, Spain, Germany,
Scandinavia, Russia, as well. as of the English
language. All these languages, because of
certain root and other philological similarities
to that of the Aryan tongue, are said to belong
to the Aryan family of languages; or, as it is
oftener called, to the Indo-European family
of languages.
Group of English Speech. — The Indo-Eu-
ropean, or Aryan, family of languages consists
of several groups or divisions. One of these
groups is named the Teutonic group because
it is spoken by the Teutonic or German race
or races, found in central Europe (Germany),
Holland, Belgium, Denmark, Norway, Sweden,
Iceland, England, Scotland, etc. It was in the
year 449 that a little branch of this Teutonic
group, consisting of a rough, guttural speech
of some two thousand words, crossed over
from the northwest corner of the continent of
Europe to the British Isle, being carried by
the Jutes, Angles and Saxons, who came to
(Si
both aid and conquer the Britons or Celts, as
well as to confer on them a new speech — the
Anglo-Saxon.
Branches of Teutonic. — The Teutonic Group
of languages is divided into three branches,
viz, German or High German, spoken in Ger-
many proper and part of Austria ; Dutch or
Low German, spoken in Holland and generally
in the low countries about the mouths of the
rivers that empty into the Baltic and North
Sea ; Scandinavian, spoken in Denmark, Nor-
way, Sweden and Iceland.
Dutch or Low German Branch. — The Eng-
lish tongue sprang out of and belongs to the
second of the above branches — the Dutch or
Low German branch. It was a mere dialect —
and a crude one at that — of this branch, when
it crossed the German Ocean, invaded Britain,
and imparted its name, Angla-land, England,
to the island.
Birth of English. — The Jutes came over to
Britain from Juteland (Jutland) and settled in
the Isle of Wight and Kent. The Saxons came
over and settled in Southern and Western
Britain, in four little kingdoms, which are now
so many counties bearing their ancient names,
viz., Wessex, or West Saxons; Essex, or East
Saxons ; Middlesex or Middle Saxons ; Sussex
or Southern Saxons.
The Angles came over and settled mostly on
the east coast, calling their kingdom East
Anglia, and dividing it into North Folk (Nor-
folk) and South Folk (Suffolk). Each of these
three tribes or sets of Teutons brought its own
Low German dialect along, and each dialect
differed in many respects from the others; but,
notwithstanding this, each found a congenial
soil and took root, to grow and be blended in
the course of a few hundred years into the
vigorous and beautiful English speech.
Periods of English. — Students of the English
language divide its growth into periods. We
prefer the division made by Mr. J. M. D.
Meiklejohn, Professor of the Theory, History
and Practice of Education in the University
of St. Andrews, Scotland, in his excellent work
entitled "The English Language : Its Grammar,
OUR ENGLISH SPEECH.
History and Literature." He divides and treats
She periods, in substance, as follows:
I. Ancient English or Anglo-Saxon, 449-
1100.
II. Early English, 1 100-1250.
III. Middle English, 1250-1485.
IV. Tudor English, 1485-1603.
V. Modern English, 1603-present time.
As the changes in language are as gradual
and imperceptible as the growth of a tree, so
the above periods shade off into each other in a
slow and gentle way.
Ancient English or Anglo-Saxon. — This
form of English speech (450-1100) differed
almost entirely from modern English, in that
it was a highly inflexional speech, having five
cases for nouns, and several declensions ; three
genders; dual and plural numbers; a much
larger number of inflexions for verbs ; very few
foreign words ; and an alliterative poetry with-
out end-rhyme. Caedmon and King Alfred
were writers who belonged to this Anglo-
Saxon period.
Early English. — This period (1 100-1250)
was characterized by the Norman-French in-
vasion of England (1066), which introduced a
new people, language and institutions. The
Anglo-Saxon language ceased to be written
in books, and Norman-French became the lan-
guage of law, the court and polite society. But
the Anglo-Saxons and those of their lineage
continued to speak their own language, intro-
ducing into it, of course, many Norman words,
and gradually dropping the inflexions as of
less and less use. Two books, written but not
printed, belong to this period, one called the
"Ormulum," by Orm; the other, the "Brut," or
"Story of Brutus," by a monk named Lawe-
man.
Middle English. — During this period (1250-
1485) nouns, adjectives and verbs lost nearly
all their inflexions, and the newly introduced
verbs assumed the weak, or regular conjuga-
tion. Even the common people tried to speak
Norman-French, and the drift was in the direc-
tion of accepting that speech as the popular
(one. But this was checked by an Act of Parlia-
ment (1362) permitting English to be used in-
stead of Norman-French. Moreover, poets
arose, such as Chaucer, who wrote in the Eng-
lish of the time ; and toward the end of the
period appeared John Wyclif's translation of
the Bible in the popular tongue. .
Tudor English. — During this period (1485-
1603) the inflexional endings disappeared en-
tirely. Wenten became went, and hopen be-
came hope. Under the Tudor kings a new
and wide interest was taken in the study of
foreign languages — Greek, Latin, Italian, etc. —
and the English was enriched by the introduc-
tion of many foreign words, especially from
Latin sources. This "Revival of Letters," as
it is called in history, encouraged to copious
speaking and writing of an English of great
strength and comparative purity, and we find
among the great authors of the time such poets
as Spencer and Shakespeare, and such prose
writers as Bacon and Hooker.
Modern English. — During this period (1603-
present time) the grammar of the English lan-
guage has undergone but little change, but
there has been a continual enrichment of the
vocabulary by the inflow of new words, either
invented or adopted, for the purpose of ex-
pressing new ideas, and to meet the wants of
a people rapidly expanding its thoughts and
energies throughout the entire world. During
this period the English language crossed the
Atlantic Ocean westward, to become the
speech, already, of over 80,000,000 people. It
has become the language of the South Pacific
continent, of Cape Colony in Africa, and of
official India. Its strength and beauty for
prose and poetry, art and science, industry and
commerce, society and the emotions, are uni-
versally recognized.
THE FOREIGN ELEMENTS IN
ENGLISH.
The Celtic Element. — As has been seen,
when the Saxons, Angles, and Jutes came
over to Britain in the fifth century, bringing
along their Teutonic or Anglo-Saxon speech,
and overcoming and ousting the native Britons
or Celts, or mingling with them as their su-
periors, the Celtic, or native British, language
also yielded ground, but not without contribut-
ing many of its words to the spare and rough
vocabulary of the Anglo-Saxons. From the
character of some of these words it would seem
as if the Teuton adventurers or conquerors
must have found wives or domestics among the
native Celts, for of such contributed words we
find many denoting the home or domestic
estate, such as breeches, clout, crock, cradle,
darn, mop, pillow, mattock, etc. Again, the
Anglo-Saxon speech accepted as part of itself
most of the Celtic names for the rivers, moun-
tains, lakes and hills of Britain.
Thus much for the direct and at-home contri-
bution of the Celtic to the Anglo-Saxon speech.
But the Scotch, also Celtic, has also, at one
time or another, made frequent contributions
to the English speech, in the shape of clan,
HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.
lult, plaid, slogan, etc.; and Celtic Ireland has
contributed shamrock, gag, log, brogue, etc.
The Celtic language made perhaps a still
larger contribution to the English at a later
period, and indirectly through the Normans
who conquered England in 1066. These Nor-
mans, or Northmen, were originally Scandi-
navians— principally Danes — who, in the tenth
century roved piratically southward and
wrested that Celtic section of France which
they called Normandy from the French king.
Here they settled permanently, mingling with
and absorbing the native Celts and resident
Gauls and French, breeding a new, mixed and
modified language called Norman-French. Of
course this language was largely impregnated
with Celtic words, and these words the Nor-
mans carried with them to England at the time
of the invasion in 1066. There they readily
became a part of the speech of the common
people, or English. Among them are such
words as bag, barter, barrel, basin, basket,
bucket, bonnet, button, cart, dagger, gown,
mitten, vassal, wicket, etc.
The Scandinavian Element. — The same sea-
roving and free-booting Scandinavians, called
Northmen, Norsemen or Normans, but gener-
ally Danes, who, as we have just seen, invaded
Normandy, in France, in the tenth century and
afterwards England, in 1066, had long previ-
ously, in the year 787, swept down upon the
coasts of Britain, and obtained a permanent
foothold, so permanent indeed as that, from
1016 to 1042, Danish kings sat on the English
throne. These Danes being Teutons, brought
along a German dialect akin to that of the
Anglo-Saxons, or the then existing English,
and, of course, the latter readily and easily bor-
rowed from the former. Thus, the Danish ele-
ment enriched English by such words as cake,
call, crop, curl, cut, dairy, din, droop, flit,
hustings, ill, kindle, plow, root, scold, sky, etc.
The word "are" was not in the English until
the coming of the Danes, and they introduced
"to" as the sign of the infinitive mood.
The Latin Element. — The Romans (Latins)
held Britain from A. D. 43 to A. D. 410, chiefly
through garrisons. Their contact was with the
original Britons (Celts), and consequently the
Roman or Latin language of that era could not
bear directly on the subsequent Anglo-Saxon
or English speech. Yet six important words of
Latin origin, and due to that period, are found
in English. These words are castra, a camp,
as in Land-castra (Lancaster), Man-castra
(Manchester) ; strata, a paved road, our street;
colonia, a settlement, our colony; fossa, a
trench, as in Fossway, Fossbrooke; portus, a
harbor, our port; vallum, a rampart, our wall
and bailiff.
Christian Latin. — But there came a time
when the English language was to be more
fully and directly enriched by the Latin. In
596, Pope Gregory, in his zeal for the conver-
sion of the Britons, sent to the island the cele-
brated missionary, Augustine, and forty monks.
They met with great success, and, as a matter
of course, the English speech as it then existed
readily absorbed numerous Latin words con-
nected with the church services, government,
and formalities. These words were received in
the crude form of the speech of the time, but
have been gradually refined into apostle, bishop,
cup, clerk, monk, presbyter, preach, alms, rule,
etc. Not only this, but Christianity intro-
duced the English people to the outside world,
engaged them in travel and commerce, making
necessary new words for communication and
providing opportunity for their introduction.
While not all were Latin words, they came
mostly through Latin sources, or the commer-
cial sources of the time. Among them may
be instanced butter, cheese, fig, pear, peach,
lettuce, pepper, camel, lion, elephant, oyster,
pound, ounce, candle, table, marble, mint, etc.
Norman-French. — We have already men-
tioned the Norman invasion of England in
1066. They brought along their language, the
Norman-French, classed as a Latin tongue.
This language became the language of law, re-
ligion, court, college, nobility and books. It
may have been a battle between Norman-
French and crude English at first, but when
the Normans lost their own country (Nor-
mandy) in 1204, those in England began to
accommodate themselves to the English
speech, and the English began to affect more
and more the Norman speech and ways. Thus
a happy and rapid blending of the two lan-
guages went on for a. period of considerably
over two hundred years with the result that
when the poet Chaucer produced his Canter-
bury Tales in poetry and in the English of the
time (1384-98), they could be read by both
Norman baron and Saxon yeoman. The Nor-
mans were used to war. Therefore we may
guess that many words which came into Eng-
lish from the Norman-French would savor of
war. So, we find arms, armor, assault, battle,
captain, chivalry, lance, standard, trumpet,
mail, visor, etc. Again, the Norman nobility
became the barons of the king, under the opera-
tion of the feudal system which they intro-
duced into England. Therefore, as was to be
expected, they contributed many words to the
English speech relating to feudalism. Among
OUR ENGLISH SPEECH.
such words are homage, fealty, esquire, vas-
sal, herald, escutcheon, etc. Further, the Nor-
mans were fond of hunting; hence such words
relating to the chase, as chase, brace, course,
covert, copse, forest, quarry, venison, etc. They
introduced into England their own system of
laws and courts and, therefore, into the English
speech such legal words as assize, attorney,
court, judge, justice, plaintiff, sue, summons,
trespass, etc. We must also add to these a
long series of abstract terms of Norman-French
origin, such as realm, state, constitution, peo-
ple, treaty, army, navy, etc. While all these
contributions were being made and accepted,
the English language was firmly retaining, in
modified forms, its original words relating to
agriculture, as plow, harrow, flail, etc. ; those
relating to seafaring, as ship, boat, hull, fleet,
oar, sail, etc. ; those appertaining to the human
body, as eye, nose, cheek, tongue, hand, foot,
etc.; those denoting specific actions, as leap,
spring, slip, slide, walk, fall, run, swim, ride,
creep, crawl, fly, etc.
Synonyms. — This blending of languages,
this gradual making of one speech out of two,
gave rise to a striking phenomenon. When a
Norman tried to use an English word he would
compare it with, or associate it with, or put it
along side of, the same word in his own lan-
guage. When the Englishman tried to use a
Norman word, he would associate it with the
English equivalent. This gave rise to a bi-
lingual, or double-worded, condition of the
language, as seen in its synonyms — for in-
stance, will and testament, act and deed, aid
and abet, acknowledge and confess, meet and
assemble, cloak and dissemble, humble and
lowly.
The Revival of Learning. — The greatest en-
richment of the English speech from classical
Latin sources, and we may say from Greek
sources as well, took place soon after the cap-
ture of Constantinople (1453) by the Turks.
This event caused an exodus of learned men
to all parts of Europe. They became teachers
of Greek and Latin in Italy, Germany, France,
England and elsewhere. With them came a
host of Latin and Greek words — especially the
former — which were forced into English with
very little change of form, among them being
opinion, faction, oration, pungent, etc. They
came in such numbers as to lead to a pompous
and affected speech, and to the comment by
Sir Thomas Browne (1605-82), "that if English
pens maintain that stream (of words) we have
of late observed flow from many, we shall,
within a few years, be fain to learn Latin to
understand English." But at length the lan-
guage became so saturated with these new and
purely Latin words that a revolt came, and the
best writers returned to a less ostentatious and
affected English.
Spanish Element. — After the discovery of
America (1492) and the consequent impetus
given to ocean commerce, the English and
Spanish peoples and languages came into closer
contact, and the former speech was enriched
by many contributions from the latter; the
English language, as has been observed, being
ever on the alert to increase its vocabulary by
what it finds good and needful in other lan-
guages. Among the Spanish words thus ab-
sorbed by English — some of them with very
little change of form — are armada, alligator,
barricade, buffalo, cargo, cigar, cork, creole,
eldorado, fillibuster, indigo, merino, mosquito,
mulatto, negro, tornado, vanilla, etc.
Italian Element. — The Italian language has
for many centuries been a liberal and useful
contributor to the English, especially along the
lines of literature and art. Thus, we have bor-
rowed from the Italian the poetical terms,
canto, sonnet, stanza; the musical terms, piano,
opera, oratorio, soprano, alto; the architectural
terms, portico, cupola, piazza ; and many others
of general tenor, as bandit, burlesque, cascade,
charlatan, ditto, folio, gondola, grotto, in-
fluenza, malaria, pantaloon, ruffian, umbrella,
volcano, etc.
Dutch Element. — The Dutch and English
languages being akin — both Teutonic — and
England and the Netherlands being close to-
gether geographically and commercially, it
would seem as if words from the Dutch should
abound in English. But this is not the case.
Yet some very expressive words of Dutch
origin are found, relating mostly to seafaring.
Among these may be mentioned, ballast, boom,
boor, luff, reef, skates, skipper, sloop, smuggle,
yacht, yawl, etc.
French Element. — We have already seen
how largely the Norman-French element has
blended with the English language. But En-
glish has drawn directly on the French lan-
guage, from time to time, for a great number of
expressive words, which it has assimilated
with very little change of form or pronuncia-
tion. They relate for the most part to manners
and customs and to inventions and discoveries.
Among them may be mentioned such words
as aide-de-camp, belle, bivouac; blonde, bou-
quet, carte-de-visite, coup d'etat, debris, depot,
etiquette, gout, outre, personnel, program, pro-
tege, trousseau, etc.
German Element. — English, being a Teu-
HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.
tonic language of the Low-German order, has
had very little need to enrich itself from a kin-
dred speech — the High-German. Yet there
have been, especially in later years, right fre-
quent borrowings of such words as cobalt, feld-
spar, hornblende, loafer, meerschaum, nickel,
plunder, poodle, quartz, zinc, etc.
Hebrew Element. — It could hardly be other-
wise than that, through the agency of the
Bible, the Hebrew should be a liberal contribu-
tor to the English speech, and from Hebrew
sources we find such words as amen, behemoth,
cabal, cherub, hallelujah, hosanna, Jehovah,
jubilee, manna, rabbi, Pharisee, Sabbath, Satan,
seraph, shibboleth, etc.
African Element. — Commercial relations
with remote countries have caused an impor-
tation of words into English, generally of a'
kind expYessive of the thing dealt in or im-
ported. Thus, from African sources, we have
derived, among others, the words canary, chim-
panzee, gnu, gorilla, guinea, oasis, zebra, etc.
American Element. — From various native
American sources have come into English
words expressive of the new things seen and
dealt with in commerce, and expressive of re-
lations novel to the old world sojourners.
Among these may be mentioned alpaca, bucca-
neer, cannibal, canoe, chocolate, condor, guano,
jalap, mahogany, maize, moccasin, mustang,
opossum, potato, raccoon, skunk, squaw, to-
bacco, tomahawk, tomato, wigwam, etc. This
list may be enlarged indefinitely when it is
remembered that the usage of the English
language in the United States and Canada has
been to adopt bodily from the native Ameri-
can, or Indian, speech the names of rivers,
mountains, tribes, villages, etc., thus forever
preserving the words and ideas of a perishing
people.
Arabic Element. — The Arabic language has
been a liberal contributor to the English. This
may seem strange at first, but not when we
consider that the Arabs were once advanced
mathematicians and scientists, and their coun-
try a rich producer of the gums, spices and
other articles which gratified English taste and
enlarged commerce. Among the Arabic words
found in English are alcohol, algebra, alkali,
artichoke, assassin, caliph, carat, cipher, coffee,
cotton, elixir, fakir, gazelle, giraffe, harem,
magazine, mohair, nabob, naphtha, shrub, sofa,
sultan, syrup, talisman, tariff, zenith, zero, etc.
Other Foreign Elements. — Indeed, it may be
said that hardly a nation exists which has not,
through the agency of commerce, contributed
something of its speech toward the enrichment
of the English tongue. Thus, the Chinese have
given us the words silk, tea, typhoon, nankeen,
junk, joss, hyson, bohea, etc. From the Hindu
language come Brahmin, calico, chintz, jungle,
loot, musk, pagoda, pundit, rupee, sugar, thug,
toddy, etc. The Hungarian language has
given us hussar, sabre, etc.; the Malay, bam-
boo, bantam, caddy, gong, gutta-percha, rattan,
sago, upas, etc.; the Persian, awning, bazaar,
caravan, check, chess, divan, jar, jackal, lemon,
lilac, orange, sash, shawl, turban, etc.; the
Portuguese, albatross, cobra, cocoanut, com-
modore, lasso, marmalade, molasses, etc.; the
Russian, czar, knout, rouble, steppe, etc.; the
Turkish, bey, dey, kiosk, ottoman, tulip, etc.
New Word-Making.— The Anglo-Saxon, or
" very early English, was a resourceful language
in itself, that is, it had, like Greek and German,
the power to meet new ideas and give them ex-
pression by means of combinations of its own
words. Where a language has a large and rich
vocabulary this method of enlarging it is very
satisfactory, but where the vocabulary is
scanty it becomes less satisfactory, yet the re-
sult is never without an element of strength
and cleverness, whatever may be said of its
smoothness and beauty. Thus, just as the
Greek said camelopard, for that long-necked
and spotted animal which resembled both
camel and leopard; and just as the German
says hand-shoe for glove, and finger-hat for
thimble; so the Anglo-Saxon, or early Eng-
lishman, said pinch-penny for miser, mumble-
news for tattler, fore-elders for ancestors, fore-
wit for caution, inwit for conscience, folk-wain
for carriage. Some early writers contended
that this method of word-making should never
have been departed from. But the incoming
of the Norman-French settled its fate by offer-
ing its single words for those homely double
ones. Later writers have advised a return to
the old-fashioned method, but such consider
very lightly, or not at all, the extreme paucity
of the early English vocabulary, and forget the
immense and rapidly growing need for new
words expressive of ideas and embodying
forms and meanings of a commercial, scientific
and industrial kind. Such words are, for the
most part, far beyond the power and resource
of a primitive language, however combined ;
for no primitive language ever rises above its
people, and the Anglo-Saxons were a people
of simple wants and notions. So, therefore, it
is that the English language, when it has need
of a new word, finds it most convenient to
resort to other sources than its own primitive
ones for what it wants. It has enriched itself
during the past active century by hundreds of

coinages for the purpose of introducing new Latin and second-handed Latin, or that through
discoveries and rendering them useful in daily the Norman French, or some allied language,

THE BUILDING OF ENGLISH WORDS.
In extending credit to the various authorities consulted in the elaboration of the subject
of word building and derivation, much is especially due to that excellent work entitled "The
English Language," by Prof. J. M. D. Meiklejohn, of the University of St. Andrews, Scotland.
GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF WORD
BUILDING.
1. As with a tree, a word has a root, a prime source
of vitality. The root of a word is the shortest form in
which it appears, and is its primary element. Tal,
meaning number, speech, is the root of tale, a number
counted ; tale, a story ; tell, narrate ; toll, something
counted out ; talk, discourse. All these words retain
somelliing of the significance and form of their root,
tal.
2. When the root of a word undergoes modification,
it then becomes a stem. If the root lov be modified by
adding an e to make the word love, then love is the
stem of lov. It is to the stem that all the inflections
which a word may undergo are added. Thus it is
to love that the d is added to make the past tense,
loved.
3. When the root of a word is enlarged, or added
to, by uniting a prefix or a suffix with it, the word so
formed is called a derivative. Thus by prefixing en
to the root dar=dear, we get endear; and by suffixing
ling to the same root we get darling.
to the same root we get darling.
4. As a rule English prefixes and suffixes are added
only to English roots. But there are many exceptions
to this rule, as, for instance cottage is formed by suffix-
ing the Latin age to the English root cot; and, again,
covetousness is formed by suffixing the English ness
to the Latin word covetous. Such words are called
hybrids.
5. A compound word is one made by uniting two
words together, as hoecake.
WORD-MAKING BY COMPOUNDING.
Compound Nouns. — Compound nouns are formed
in various ways : —
(a) By uniting a noun with a noun; as bridal=
bride-ale ; daisy=day's eye ; Gospel=God's spell or
story ; lapwing^leap wing ; tadpole=toad head.
(fc) Noun with adjective; as redbird, midnight,
quicksilver, twilight=two lights.
(r) Noun with verb; as bakehouse, godsend, grind-
stone, spendthrift, washtub.
(d) Noun with adverb; as offshoot.
(e) Noun with preposition ; as afterthought, by-
word.
(/) Verb with adverb; as drawback, farewell,
income, welcome.
Compound Adjectives. — There are many compound
adjectives in the English language, and they are formed
in a variety of ways. Thus : —
(o) Noun with adjective; as purse-proud, sea-
green, lily-white, sky-blue.
(b) Noun with participle; as heart-rending, sea-
faring, wor.n-eaten, way-laid, sea-girt.
(c) Adverb with participle; as everlasting, far-
reaching, well-bred, high-strung, ill-pleased.
(d) Noun with noun ; as bare-foot, lion-heart, iron-
side.
(?) A favorite way of making compound adjec-
tives is by uniting nouns, adjectives or adverbs with
nouns to which ed has beed added ; as club-footed, grey-
headed, tender-hearted, down-hearted, under-handed.
Compound Verbs. — The few compound verbs in the
English language are formed after this manner: —
(a) Verb with noun; as backbite, browbeat, hen-
peck, hoodwink, kiln-dry.
(b) Verb with adjective; as dumfound, fulfil, white-
wash.
(r) Verb with adverb; as don=do on, outdo,
unlatch.
Compound Adverbs. — These are made by uniting : —
(a) Noun with noun; as endways, side-ways.
(fr) Noun with adjective; as always, breast-high,
meanwhile, sometimes.
(c) Preposition with noun ; as overboard, outside.
(d) Adverb with preposition ; as hereafter, therein,
whereupon.
WORD-BUILDING BY THE USE OF
PREFIXES.
A ready and favorite way of building words is by
the use of prefixes ; that is, by the use of one or more
letters or syllables combined or united with the begin-
ning of a root or word to modify its signification. Gen-
erally speaking the prefixes used in our language are of
English, French, Latin or Greek origin. When
French is mentioned in this connection, it must be
understood that Latin is really meant, for French is
but a modified form of Latin.
English Prefixes. — These are of two kinds. One
kind are called inseparable, because they have no
meaning in themselves, cannot stand alone, and are
of no appreciable use except in connection with words
before which they are placed. Indeed, it may be said
that quite often the effect they produce by their union
with other words is more fanciful than otherwise. Yetj
there they are for better or for worse, and they must
be reckoned with as an ancient and now essential
feature of English speech.
A second kind or class of English prefixes are called
separable. These have definite meanings in them-
selves, can stand alone, and may be used as independent
words.
It is not the purpose here to furnish complete lists
and significations of all the prefixes used in the build-
ing of English words, but only those of most frequent
and important use, those which affect most appreciably
the words to which they are attached; those which
(9J

OUR ENGLISH SPEECH.
provide the best examples of this method of extending
and reinforcing our speech.
English Inseparable Prefixes. The most impor-
tant of these are: —
1. A, which conveys the meaning of on, it being a
short form of the old English an. Examples would be
abed=on the bed ; aboard=on board ; away=on the
way; athwart=on the cross route.
2. Be is an antique form of by, and serves : —
(a) In connection with transitive verbs to intensify
their force and meaning ; as bedaub=daub thoroughly
or all over, bedeck=to ornament, besmirch=to smear
thoroughly.
(b) To turn an intransitive into a transitive verb;
as intr. moan to tr. bemoan; intr. speak to tr. bespeak;
intr. wail to tr. bewail.
(c) To turn nouns and adjectives into verbs;, as
befriend, benumb, besiege.
(d) To unite with nouns to make new nouns of
varied or stronger meaning. In this use it sometimes
goes back to its old form of by; as behest, bequest,
bypath, byword.
(e) To make prepositions and adverbs; as before,
behind, besides.
3. For is the Anglo-Saxon and old English for,
with the significance, as a prefix, of though or thor-
ough.
(a) It intensifies the meaning of words to which
it is prefixed ; as forbid=command against ; forget=
let go (from memory); forlorn=utterly lost; for-
swear=s\\ear thoroughly ; that is, to anything.
(6) It sometimes conveys a negative meaning to
the word to which it is prefixed ; as in forgo=forego.
4. Fore is another form of for, with the significance
of first, before, which it retains as a prefix ; as fore-
bode, forecast, forejudge.
5. Mis is an Anglo-Saxon combining form which,
as a prefix, is used adjectively and adverbially in the
sense of amiss, wrong, ill, wrongly; as misdeed, mis-
lead, mischief, miscreant, mistake.
6. Un. This old inseparable prefix, or particle
signifies not. It is widely attached to adjectives,
participles and adverbs to give them a negative mean-
ing, but is less prefixed to nouns. Examples : —
unafraid, unbearable, unholy, unabased, unbeloved, un-
blushing, unbind-
7. Wan is an antique English form signifying lack-
ing, but is less freely prefixed to nouns. Examples : —
wanhope=wanting hope=despair.
8. With is a contraction of the Anglo-Saxon
wither=against. It is seen in withdraw, withstand,
withhold, withers=the parts which stand against, or
resist, the strain in pulling.
English Separable Prefixes.— As already noted, these
may stand alone as words and have independent mean-
ing. When used as prefixes they speak, as it were, a
little louder and stronger than the inseparable prefixes.
1. After is a frequent prefix, carrying its own sig-
nification; as in aftergrowth, aftermath=after the
mowing, afterthought.
2. All, modern form of old English al, signifies
• whole or quite. It is seen in almightv, alone, almost,
etc.
3. Forth, in the sense of forward, is seen in such
■words as forthcoming, forthword=forward, etc.
4. In, as a prefix, carries its own significance into:
_ (a) Inborn, income, inbred, incline, instep, inlay,
inject, intrude, etc.
d>) In words derived from the Latin and beginning
with 1, the prefix in becomes il, as in illusion ; in such
words beginning with r it becomes r, as in irruption ;
in such words beginning with a labial, it becomes im..
as in imbue, immigrate, impart.
(c) In its French form, en, still signifying in or
into and chiefly as a prefix to words borrowed from the
French it is seen in endear, entwine, enlighten, etc.
(rf) Some English words are written indifferently
with in or en; as, encase or incase, encircle or incircle,
enclosure or inclosure.
(<?) En is commonly changed to m if followed by
a p, b, and m; as employ, embody, embitter, embolden,
emmew.
(f) En, as a prefix to some words, conveys the sense
of to make, or cause to be, as in enable=to make able;
enfeeble=to cause to be feeble; it merely intensifies the
word chasten in enchasten.
5. Off or of becomes a ready prefix in such words
as offal=what falls off, offset, offshoot, offspring, etc.
6. On imparts its sense of motion to such words as
onset, onslaught, onward.
7. Out imparts its sense of direction to such words
as outbreak, outcast, outside, outpost. Outer becomes
utter and outmost becomes utmost.
8. Over becomes a ready prefix carrying its native
significance to nouns, adjectives and verbs; as over-
coat, overhead, over-bold, over-proud, overturn, over-
spread, etc.
9. Through=Thorough attaches its sense of pene-
tration or thoroughness to such words as throughout,
thoroughfare, through-line, through-ticket, thorough-
bred, etc.
10. Twi, in comparison, signifies two or double. ' It
is seen in twice=two times ; twilight=double or doubt-
ful light; t\vin=doubIe; twisfetwo strands (twisted).
11. Under imparts its sense of below or lower to a
great number of words ; as underhand, undertone,
underlie, undergo, underneath, etc.
12. Up imparts its sense of upward direction to
many nouns, verbs and other words ; as upland, upshot,
uphold, upbraid, upright, upward, etc.
LATIN AND FRENCH PREFIXES.
Though this heading mentions French prefixes, it
must always be borne in mind that French is only a
modified Latin, and that while as to prefixes French
and Latin forms may differ, they have quite similar
effects on the words to which they are attached. A
great many, and very useful, prefixes have come into
use in the English language both directly from Latin
and indirectly from Latin through the French.

words as avert, abjure, absent. In the French form of
a and av it is seen in avaunt, avantage=advantage.

according to the first consonant of the root before which
it appears ; as in adapt, affect, accord, aggression,
allude, etc. In the French form of a it appears in

and w. Before a vowel com becomes co; also before
h and w; as in compound, collect, content, correct,
counsel, cooperate.

ing; as in dissimilar, disarm, disease, divorce, dis-

OUR ENGLISH SPEECH.
WORD-BUILDING BY THE USE OF
SUFFIXES.
We have seen how English words are made by prefixing
particles to roots, and how such prefixes affect the sig-
nificance of the words to which they become attached.
An equally effective way of making English words is
by the use of suffixes; that is, by appending a letter,
letters, syllable or syllables to the end of words or
roots to modify their forms and meanings. Such
suffixes are even more numerously employed in English
than are the prefixes, and they are borrowed from the
same general sources— old English or Anglo-Saxon,
Latin or French, and Greek. From a strictly etymo-
logical point of view, it is not too much to say that
suffixes have greater modifying power over words to
which they are attached than prefixes.
English Suffixes to Nouns.— The most important
are as follows : —
i. Ard or art, habitual, or one who has an exces-
sive degree of the quality expressed by the root; as in
braggart, coward, drunkard, laggard, reynard, sluggard,
wizard.
2. Craft, strength, skill, art, cunning; as in wood-
craft, priestcraft, witchcraft.
3. Suffixing the dental (teeth) sounds of d, t and
th to English roots gives them new significance as well
as change of form ; as flood from flow ; seed from sow ;
drift from drive; drought from dry, flight from fly;
death from die; birth from bear; sloth from slow;
health from heal, etc.
4. Dom, doom, authority, sovereignty, dominion; as
in dukedom, earldom, kingdom, Christendom. It also
signifies a state, condition or quality; as in wisdom,
freedom, thraldom.
5. En imparts a diminutive meaning; as in chicken
=little cock; kitten=little cat; maiden=little maid.
6. Er denotes : —
(a) The agent; as in farmer, fuller, hater, heater,
grater, leader, writer, etc.
(fe) After places it signifies a person of the place,
as Londoner, Southerner, etc.
7. Hood, person, rank, order, condition: as in
brotherhood, childhood, knighthood, manhood, priest-
hood, wifehood, etc.
8. Ing, part, act of, result of the act ; as in farthing
(fourth), riding, dying, feeling. It has a collective
force in clothing, shipping.
9. Kin is a diminutive maker; as in bodkin, firkin,
lambkin, mannikin.
10. Ling is also a diminutive maker ; as in darling,
firstling, gosling=little goose, hireling, nestling.
11. Le or 1 gives a diminutive meaning to roots;
as in bundle, saddle=little seat.
12. Ness is used to convert adjectives into abstract
nouns expressive of quality or state ; as in dark-
ness, goodness, greatness, holiness, weakness, weariness.

Poflock=little Paul.
14. M or om converts verbs into nouns ; as in

team from tow.
15. Red, mode or fashion; as in hatred, kindred. In
proper nouns it signifies counsel, as Mildred=mild in
counsel ; Ethelred=nobIe in counsel.
16. Ric, power, dominion ; as in bishopric.
17. Ship, state, office, shape, form, profession, art;
as in chancellorship, fellowship, friendship, horseman-
ship, lordship, stewardship, workmanship, worships
worthship.
18. Stead, place ; as in bedstead, homestead, instead.
19. Ster denotes an agent (originally a woman),
especially a person who does something with skill, or
as an occupation; as in spinster (originally a woman
who spins), huckster, maltster, songster, roadster, bax-
ster=bakester, youngster. Brewing, baking and weav-
ing were originally female occupations, and brewster,
baxster and webster meant the woman who brews,
bakes or weaves. When men began to perform these
duties the feminine forms were retained. Ster impart*
a depreciative sense to such words as gamester, pun-
ster, oldster, youngster.
20. Ther, der or ter denote the agent and impart
a sense of duality; as in father, mother, brother
sister, bladder (blow), rudder (row), water (wet),
winter (wind).
21. Wright, by a shift of the r=\vork or workman ;
as in millwright, shipwright, wheelwright.
22. Ward, keeper, as in hayward, steward=sty-
keeper, woodward.
English Suffixes to Adjectives.— Some of the more
important are : —
1. Ed or d, which gives the past-participle ending;
as in landed, talented.
2. En denotes material ; as in golden, silvern, flaxen,
oaken, wooden, etc. It is also an old ending for the
past-participle; as in drunken, molten, hewn=hewen.

6. Ful or full but adds its native meaning; as in
hateful, hopeful, needful, sinful.
7. Ish, relation, resemblance, similarity and some-
times operates as a diminutive force; as in selfish,

little, brittle, fickle.
9. Less, without, destitute ; as in childless, father-
less, fearless, helpless, toothless.
10. Like attaches its own meaning to the noun ; as
in manlike, childlike, Godlike, warlike.
11. Ly is a softened form of like, and is seen in
manly, womanly, ghastly=ghostly.
12. Ow is but a modern form of the old English
ending u. It appears in callow, fallow, narrow, yellow,
etc.
13. Right, straight=direct ; as in downright, forth-
right, upright.
14. Some, like, same, full; as in gladsome=full of
gladness, irksome, blithesome, gamesome, winsome.

etc.
17. Ward, course or direction; as in awkward, home-
ward, toward, forward, seaward, westward.
18. Wise, way, manner, mode, fashion ; as in length-
wise, likewise, nowise. The word ways is often sub-
stituted in the same sense;. as in noways, lengthways.
19. Y is a variation of the Anglo-Saxon ig, which
signified resemblance, or in the nature of; as in bloody,
crafty, dusty, mighty, stony, etc.
Verb and Adverb Suffixes.— Suffixes, drawn from
English, Latin, French and Greek sources, are also
used to form and add significance to verbs and adverbs ;
but these are neither so numerous and important as
those used with nouns and adjectives. Moreover,
many of them but duplicate those already used, so that
their mention here would hardly tend to further exem-
plify the principle involved in the use of suffixes.
THE BUILDING CF ENGLISH WORDS.
13
LATIN AND FRENCH SUFFIXES.
These are numerous and of great importance in
the making of English words. Perhaps a majority of
the suffixes of Latin origin have taken on a French
form, owing to the fact that after the Norman conquest
of England (.1066) the French (Norman-French) lan-
guage was in intimate contact with the then existing
English.
Latin and French Suffixes to Nouns. — The most
important of these are : —
1. Age, which converts a root or stem into an
abstract or collective noun; as in beverage, bondage,
courage, homage, marriage, tonnage, vintage, etc.
2. An, connected with, belonging to ; as in artisan,
pagan, publican, Roman. It takes the form of Ain in
chaplain, captain, and of ane in humane, mundane.
3. Al conveys a sense of quality; as in animal, canal,

WORD ROOTS AND DERIVATIONS.
When the English language was young, and while still uninfluenced by other languages,
it had the power of growing words within itself; that is, of building new words upon its
native roots. All words so grown or built had, and have, a family likeness. Take byrnan,
to burn, as an example. This root gives us brimstone (burnstone) ; brown (burnt color),
brunt (heat or shock of battle), brand (burnt in, also a piece of wood on fire), brindle (dark
color on a gray ground, as if branded).
This power of English to grow its own words ceased after the Norman conquest (1066).
When a new word was needed, after that period, it was found handier to take an old and
somewhat ready-made word from the French (Norman), Latin or Greek, and give it a place
in our language. It is well, however, to keep up acquaintance with those pure English
words which grew upon our own native roots, and which owe nothing to other languages;
such, for instance, as are found below ; the same being chiefly due to Meikeljohn's "English
Language."

A STUDY OF THE FORMS AND RELATIONS
OF ENGLISH SPEECH.
LANGUAGE. Spoken language consists of a number of connected sounds conveying the
idea or meaning of one using them. There must, too, be a hearer of such sounds who has
agreed that they shall mean what the speaker desires to express. When a large number of
people are so agreed, spoken language becomes a vehicle of expression in a wide sense. But
as people grow more intelligent, the need of a written language begins to be felt. There-
fore, all civilized peoples have, in the course of time and not without difficulty, made them-
selves a set of signs by means of which the sounds agreed upon for expression of ideas
may be indicated on paper, that is, may become written or printed. These signs take the
form of letters, and the science of letters is called Alphabetics, while the science of sounds
is called Phonetics.
ENGLISH GRAMMAR.
Parts of Grammar. — Grammar considers and
examines language from its smallest parts up
to its most complex parts. The smallest part
of a written language is a letter; the next
smallest part is a word; with words we make
sentences; with words we also make musically
measured sentences, or verse. There are, then,
four kinds or parts of grammar:
(i) Orthography, or the grammar of letters. Or-
thography literally means right writing, or the part of
grammar which treats of letters and the art of spelling
correctly.
(ii) Etymology, or the grammar of words. Ety-
mology literally means true account, or the part of
grammar which relates to the changes in the form
of words in the language ; inflection.
(iii) Syntax, or the grammar of sentences. Syntax
literally means together in order, or the part of grammar
which treats of the proper construction of sentences.
(iv) Prosody, or the grammar of musical or meas-
ured verse. Prosody literally means to or for a song,
or the part of grammar which treats of the quantity
of syllables, of accent, and of the laws of versification or
metrical composition.
ORTHOGRAPHY;
Or, the Grammar of Sounds and Letters.
Sounds. — In English there are two kinds of
sounds: (i) open sounds, (ii) stopped sounds.
The open sounds are called vowels, the stopped
sounds consonants.
Vowels. — Vowels do not need the aid of
other letters to enable them to be sounded.
When two vowels are sounded together in a
word, as oi in boil, or ai in aisle, they are called
a diphthong; when three are sounded together,
as can in beauty, they are called a triphthong.
The vowels are a, e, i, o, u, and sometimes
w and y. All other letters are consonants.
W and y are vowels except when they precede a
vowel sound in the same syllable. W in won is a con-
sonant ; but w in law is a vowel. Y in young is a con-
sonant; but y in boy is a vowel.
Consonants. — There are different ways of
stopping or checking the continuous flow of
sound.
(i) Labials. — Labial pertains to' the lip. When
sounds are stopped by the lips, as in ib, ip, such con-
sonants are called Labials.
(ii) Dentals. — Dental pertains to the teeth. When
sounds are stopped by the teeth, as in id, it, such conso-
nants are called Dentals.
(iii) Gutturals. — Guttural pertains to the throat.
When sounds are stopped in the throat, as in ig, ik,
such consonants are called Gutturals.
(iv) Palatals. — Palat.. pertains to the palate.
Sounds uttered by the aid of the palate, as k in kirk,
are called Palatals.
The first three of the above set of sounds are classed
as Mutes, because the sound comes to a sudden stop.
Some consonants do not stop abruptly, but have a pro-
longed sound ; such are called Spirants, or breathing
letters.
The Alphabet. — The letters of any language
are called its Alphabet. The English alpha-
bet contains twenty-six letters. These letters
represent some forty-three separate sounds.
The. alphabet is, therefore, not a perfect one,
the vowels chiefly being called upon to do more
than their share of work. Yet such letters as
c, q, x, w and y could be dispensed with, for
the work of c could be done by a k or s; that
(20)

21
of q by k ; x equals ks or gs; w could be repre-
sented by oo, and the work of y could be done
by i.
ETYMOLOGY;
Or, the Grammar of Words.
Classification of Words. — There are nine
kinds or classes of words in our language.
They are commonly called "Parts of Speech."
These parts of speech are classed and defined
as follows:
I.— THE ARTICLE.
The Article is the word a, an or the placed
before a noun to show whether it is used
definitely or indefinitely.
(i) A is called the Indefinite Article, and the the
Definite Article.
(2) A is written before a consonant sound, as a
cow, a bird. The article a is written an when placed
before a vowel sound ; as an eagle, an ass.
(3) A or an means one, and is used only before the
singular number; as a man, an apple.
(4) The Definite Article the designates some par-
ticular noun, and is used before both the singular and
plural numbers ; as the house, the houses.
Some grammarians class articles with adjectives, as
modifying words with limited power.
II.— THE NOUN.
A noun is the name of any person, place or
thing; it is also any word or words used as a
name. John, ball, house, book, are all names,
therefore nouns. To zvalk is healthful ; here to
walk is the name of an action, and is, therefore,
a noun.
(1) Nouns are of two classes, Proper and Com-
mon.
(2) A Proper noun is the name of an individual,
and is given to only one of a class of objects; as John,
London, Shakespeare. It should always begin with a
capital letter.
(3) A Common noun is the name of a person, place
or thing, considered not merely as an individual, but
as one of a class; as horse, toivn. boy, river.
(4) A Collective noun is the name of a collection
of persons or things looked upon as one; as army,
committee, crowd. It is also called a noun of multitude.
(5) Gender. — Nouns have Gender, which is a mode
of distinguishing their sex. There are three genders,
Masculine, Feminine and Neuter.
(6) The Masculine gender denotes objects of the
male sex ; as Harry, boy, man.
(7) The Feminine gender denotes objects of the
female sex ; as Girl, Harriet, woman.
(8) The Neuter gender denotes objects without sex;
as tree, house, London.
(9) Some grammarians make a fourth gender,
called the Common gender, when the sex cannot be
exactly told ; as sheep, bird, servant.
i{io) Gender may be distinguished in four ways:
(a) By the use of different words; as boy, girl;
horse, mare; husband, ivife.
(b) By different terminations of the noun ; as actor,
actress; host, hostess; duke, duchess.
(c) By the use of prefixes ; as man-servant, maid-
servant; he goat, she goat.
(d) By the use of suffixes; as pea-cock, pea-hen;
school-master, school-mistress.
(11) Number. — Number in nouns is the mode of
telling whether we are speaking of one thing or more
than one. There are two numbers, the Singular and
Plural. The Singular number denotes a single thing,
or one. The Plural number denotes more than one.
Plurals are formed as follows :
(a) The first mode is by adding i or cs to the singu-
lar; as book, books; house, houses; pen, pens. The
plural is formed by adding es when the nouns end in
ch, s, sh, x and c; as church, churches; gas, gases; box,
boxes.
(b) The second mode is by adding i'cs to nouns end-
ing in / or fe; as, loaf, loaves; thief, thieves; life, lives,
first omitting the f or fe.
(c) When a noun ends in y, preceded by a conson-
ant, plurals are made by changing the y into ies; as,
lady, ladies. But when the y follows a vowel the plural
is formed by simply adding an s; as, boy, boys; day,
days.
(d) A fourth mode is by adding en. with sometimes
an addition or change of a letter in the word; as, ox,
oxen; child, children; brother, brethren.
(e) A fifth mode is by changing the vowel sound of
the noun; as, man, men; foot, feet; tooth, teeth.
(f) Some nouns have the same form in the plural
as in the singular; as deer, sheep, trout, mackerel.
(g) Some nouns can be used only in the plural; as,
bellows, ashes, molasses.
(12) Person. — Nouns have Person, which gives
their distinction in relation to the speaker. There are
three persons, First, Second and Third.
(a) The First pefson denotes the speaker; as, /,
William, am talking.
(b) The Second person denotes the person spoken
to; as, George, please do not cry.
(c) The Third person denotes the person spoken of;
as, The boys are very good.
(13) Case. — Case is the form given to a noun to
show its relation to other words in the sentence. Nouns
have three cases, Nominative, Possessive and Objec-
tive.
(a) The Nominative case is that in which a noun is
the subject of a verb. It always answers to the ques-
tion Who? or What? and has always a verb that goes
with it, and asserts something about it ; as, John strikes.
Who strikes? Ans., John. What does John do ? Ans.,
John strikes.
(b) The Possessive case denotes ownership or pos-
session. It is used chiefly with nouns that are the names
of living beings. In the singular number it is formed
by adding to the nominative case an apostrophe (') and
an s; as, John's book ; a cat's tail.
When the nominative is plural and ends in an s, an
apostrophe only is added : as. The attorneys' book ; the
peoples' party ; but when the plural does not end in s,
both the apostrophe and j must be added ; as, men's
works.
(c) The Objective case is the object of an active
transitive verb or preposition, prd is generally placed
after the verb. It may be found by putting whom? or
what ? after the verb or preposition and asking the
question. John struck his brother. Struck whom?
Ans., Brother. Therefore brother is the object of the
verb "struck." Susan went into the house. Into what?
Ans., House. Therefore house is the object of the
preposition "into."
(14) Declension or Inflection of Nouns. — The fore-
' going changes in the forms of nouns (also of pro-
nouns), to indicate their gender, number, person and
case, are called Declension. When you speak of these
22
OUR ENGLISH SPEECH.
changes in connection with parts of speech in general
they are called Inflection. An arrangement showing
declension would appear thus :
Singular. Plural.
Nora. I'oss. Obi. Nom. Poss. Obj.
Friend, friend's, friend. Friends, friends', friends.
Man, man's, man. Men, men's, men.
Church, church's, church. Churches, churches', churches.
Lady, lady's, lady. Ladies, ladies', ladies.
City, city's, city. Cities, cities', cities.
The student should extend this arrangement of de-
clension to other nouns.
jIIL— THE ADJECTIVE.
The Adjective is a word that goes with a
noun to describe or modify it. It is a noun
marking word; as, a white rose, a great man,
(i) Adjectives do not always stand before the noun
they describe or modify. We may say, The studious
girl, or The girl is studious. In either case girl is
described or modified.
(2) Nouns may become adjectives when used to
express some quality of other nouns; as, iron rod,
sea water.
(3) Some adjectives are used, as nouns, and there-
fore take a plural form, and may take case ; as, Romans,
Christians, superiors.
(4) Numeral Adjectives. — Numeral adjectives are
those which express number. They are of three kinds,
Cardinal, Ordinal and Multiplicative.
(a) The Cardinal Adjectives denote number or
quantity ; as, one, two, three, four.
(b) The Ordinal Adjectives denote order or arrange-
ment ; as, first, second, third.
(c) The Multiplicatives denote how many times; as,
single, double, triple.
(5) Comparison of Adjectives. — Adjectives are
made to vary by Comparison. There are three
Degrees of Comparison; the Positive, Comparative
and Superlative.
(a) The Positive Degree is the simple form of the
adjective, expressive of quality; as, great, small, white.
(b) The Comparative Degree expresses the quality
in a higher or lower degree; as, greater, smaller, whiter.
The comparative degree brings together only two ideas.
Thus we may speak of the "greater of the two," but
not "of the three."
(c) The Superlative Degree expresses quality in the
highest or lowest degree; as, greatest, smallest, whitest.
It requires that three things shall be compared. Thus
it would be incorrect to say : "He is the tallest of the
two."
(d) In wr.rds of one syllable the Comparative Degree
is commonly formed by adding er, and the Superlative
by adding est. to the Positive Degree; as, great, greater,
greatest. When adjectives have more than one sylla-
ble they are usually compared by prefixing to the Posi-
tive Degree the words more and most; as, recent, more
recent, most recent; numerous, more numerous, most
numerous.
(e) The most frequently used adjectives have irregu-
lar comparisons. Here is a partial list :
Positive. Comparative. Superlative.
Bad, worse, worst.
Ill, worse, worst.
Far, farther, farthest.
Fore, former, foremost.
Good, better, best.
Hind, hinder, hindmost.
Little, less, least.
Many, more, most.
Much, more, most.
Nigh, niRher, nijzhest (next).
Old, older, oldest.
Old, elder, eldest.
We.
Our, or Ours.
Us.
IV.— THE PRONOUN.
A Pronoun is a word that is used instead of
a noun. We say, "John went away yesterday;
he looked quite happy." In this case the pro-
noun he stands in the place of John.
Pronouns are divided into three classes:
Personal, Relative and Adjective. Personal
and Relative pronouns have Gender, Number,
Person and Case. Adjective pronouns have
Number only.
(1) Personal Pronouns. — Personal Pronouns are
so called because they denote person by themselves,
without reference to any other word. Personal Pro-
nouns are three in number; (1) The Personal Pro-
noun of the First Person, which is I, and indicates the
person speaking; (2) The Personal Pronoun of the
Second Person, which is Thou, and indicates the person
spoken to; (3) The Personal Pronoun of the Third
Person, which is He, She, It, and indicates the person
spoken of.
(a) The First Personal Pronoun has, of course, no
distinction of gender, and is thus declined :
Singular. Plural.
Nominative, I,
Possessive, My, or Mine,
Objective, Me,
(b) The Second Personal Pronoun has no distinc-
tion of gender, and is thus declined :
Singular. Plural.
Nominative, Thou, You, or ye.
Possessive, Thine, or Thy, You, or yours.
Objective, Thee You.
(c) The Third Personal Pronoun requires the dis-
tinction of gender, because it is necessary to indicate
the sex of the person we are talking of. It is thus de-
clined :
Singular. Plural.
Mascu- Femi-
line. nine. Neuter. All Genders.
Nom., He, She, It, ijiey.
Poss., His, Her, or Hers, Its,
Obj., Him, Her, It,
(d) Out of the above pronoun forms are made the
Compound Personal Pronouns, which are myself, thy-
self, himself, herself and itself, with their plurals our-
selves, yourselves, themselves.
(2) Relative Pronouns.— Relative Pronouns are
those which relate to some word going before, called
the antecedent. They are Who, Which, What and That.
They are always of the same gender, number and
person as their antecedents.
(a) Who is used in speaking of persons; as, "The
boy who died;" "The girl who sang."
In asking questions Who is called an Interrogative
Pronoun; and in answering questions it is called a Re-
sponsive.
(b) Which is used in speaking of inferior animals
and things without life; as, "The horse which I sold;
"The house which John built."
In asking questions Which is called an Interrogative
Pronoun ; and in answering questions, a Responsive.
(c) Who and Which are alike in both numbers, and
are thus declined :
Sing, and Plural. Sing, and Plural.
Nominative, Who. Nominative, ,V„n,ch-
Possessive, Whose. Possessive, JX???'
Objective, Whom. Objective, « nich.
(d) That may be used in the place of Who or
Which. That and What are indeclinable.
(e) What, as a relative pronoun, takes the place of
Which when the antecedent is omitted, and may be
used in either the singular or plural. In the sentence,
Their, or Theirs.
Them.
A STUDY OF THE FORMS AND RELATIONS OF ENGLISH SPEECH.
23
"This is the thing which I wanted," if we omit the
antecedent (thing) we are compelled to say, "This
is what I wanted. '
In asking questions What is called an Interrogative
Pronoun, and in answering questions, a Responsive.
(f) There are Compound Relative Pronouns; as,
Whoever, whosoever, whichever, whichsoever, whatever,
whatsoever. They are all indeclinable except whoso-
ever, which is thus declined :
Singular and Plural.
Nominative, Whosoever.
Possessive, Whosesoever.
Objective, Whomsoever,
(3) Adjective Pronouns. — Adjective Pronouns
modify or limit a noun like adjectives. They are
sometimes called Pronominal Adjectives. Thev_ are
divided into three classes, Distributives, Demonstra-
tives and Indefinites.
(a) The Distributives are each, every, either,
neither. They refer separately and singly to each per-
son or thing of a number of persons or things.
Each is used in speaking of two or more; as, "Each
of you must walk home."
Every is used when speaking of more than two; as,
"Every one of you must walk home."
Either means one or the other, but not both ; as,
"Either of you may go."
Neither means not either ; as, "Neither this nor that."
(b) The Demonstratives point out in a definite
manner the objects to which they relate. They are
This and That, with their plurals, These and Those.
"This boy is white, but that boy is black." "These
horses are large, but those horses are small."
(c) The Indefinites point out in an indefinite man-
ner the objects to which they relate. They are any,
all, such, some, both, one, none, other, another. One.
other, another may be used as nouns, and are then de-
clined as nouns are.
V.— THE VERB.
The Verb is that part of speech by means
of which we make an assertion or affirmation.
It is the keystone of the arch of speech. If I
say, "William talks," I assert of William that
he does something. What do I assert of Wil-
liam? Answer, That he talks. Therefore
talks is a verb.
(1) Verbs are divided into two classes, Transitive
and Intransitive.
(2) A Transitive Verb denotes an action or feeling
which passes over from the doer of the action to the
object of the action; as, "The boy broke the stick."
Here the action of breaking passes over to the object
stick.
(3) An Intransitive Verb denotes a state, feeling
or action that does not pass over, but terminates in
the doer or agent; as, "He sleeps," "She walks,' "The
grass grows."
(4) - Inflections of Verbs. — Verbs are changed or
modified for Voice, Mood, Tense, Number and Per-
son. These changes are expressed partly by inflection
and partly by the use of auxiliary verbs.
(5) Voice. — Voice is that attribute or form of the
verb which shows whether the subject of the verb acts
or is acted upon. Verbs have two voices, the Active
Voice and the Passive Voice.
(a) The Active Voice is that form of the verb which
shows that the subject acts, or does what the verb men-
tions ; as, "Jane jumps the rope."
(b) The Passive Voice is that form of the verb
which shows that the subject is acted upon; as, "The
rope is jumped by Jane."
(c) The Passive voice of a verb is formed by using
a part of the verb to be and the past participle of the
verb ; thus :
Active. Passive.
I beat. , I am beaten.
I have beaten. I have been beaten.
(6) Mood. — The Mood of a verb is the manner in
which the statement made by the verb is presented to
the mind ; or, Mood denotes the manner or way in which
what the verb asserts is expressed. Is a statement made
directly? Is a command given? Is a statement sub-
joined to another? All these are different Moods or
modes. There are five Moods : The Indicative, the
Subjunctive, the Potential, the Imperative and the
Infinitive.
(a) The Indicative Mood makes a direct assertion
or puts a question in a direct manner ; as, "John is ill ;"
"Is John ill?" "John Strikes." "Is John ill?" is some-
times called the Interrogative form.
(b) The Subjunctive Mood expresses what the
verb asserts in the form of a supposition, a doubt, a
wish or future contingency. It is always accompanied
by another verb in some other mood ; that is to say, it
is alway used in a sentence that is subjoined to a prin-
cipal sentence; as, "If it rain to-day, you cannot go
out;" "O that he were here !" "Love not sleep, lest
thou come to poverty."
The Subjunctive Mood is generally preceded by such
conjunctions as if, though, although, unless, except,
zvhether, lest. Such words are called signs of the Sub-
junctive Mood.
The Subjunctive Mood is rapidly dying out of use in
modern English.
(c) The Potential Mood is that form of the verb
which is used to express possibility, liberty, power, will,
obligation or necessity by the use of may, can, must,
might, could, voould, or should; as, "I may go;" "He
can write," etc.
Questions may be asked in the Potential Mood; as,
"May I go?" "Must he write?" etc.
(d) The Imperative Mood is the mood of com-
mand, request or entreaty; as, "Go!" "Give me the
book ;" "Do come back !"
The Imperative Mood takes its subject in the second
person as thou or you, which is seldom expressed; as,
"Go out," equal to "Thou or you go out."
(e) The Infinitive Mood is that form of the verb
which has no reference to any agent or is not limited
to a subject; that is, it is unlimited by person, number
or time. It is a verb in itself, pure and simple; as, "To
ask;" "To write."
The preposition to is called the sign of the Infinitive
Mood.
The Infinitive is really a noun, and may be used in
both the nominative and objective cases; as, "To err
is human;" "I wish to go."
(7) Tense. — Tense is the form the verb takes to
indicate time. There are Six Tenses : The Present,
the Past, the Future, the Present-Perfect, the Past-
Perfect and the Future-Perfect.
(a) The Present Tense is that form of the verb
which indicates simply present time ; as, "I love."
(b) The Past Tense is that form of the verb which
indicates simply past time ; as, "I loved."
(c) The Future Tense is that form of the verb
which indicates simply future time ; as, "I shall love."
24
OUR ENGLISH SPEECH.
(d) The Present-Perfect Tense is that form of the
verb which indicates what is past, and yet what is con-
nected with the present time ; as, *'I have loved " Here
the language implies that which is past and completed,
but does not preclude the idea of still loving.
(e) The Past-Perfect Tense is that form of the
verb which indicates what was past and completed be-
fore some other event which is also past ; as, "I had
loved." Here had loved implies what was past and
completed before some other past event caused love
to cease.
(f) The Future-Perfect Tense is that form of the
verb which indicates a future time in advance of some
other future time; as, "I shall have loved;" that is, I
shall have done so before some other future happening.
(8) Participles. — A Participle is a form of the
verb which has the function of both a verb and an
adjective. There are three Participles: The Present,
the Past or Perfect and the Compound-Perfect
(a) The Present Participle always ends in ing, and
indicates what is now going on; as, loving, going, run-
ning.
(b) The Past or Perfect Participle indicates what
is complete or finished ; as, loved, gone, written. In reg-
ular verbs it ends in ed; in irregular verbs its ending is
arbitrary. (See examples of irregular verbs.)
(c) The Compound-Perfect Participle indicates
that which is finished before something else men-
tioned; as, having loved; having written.
(9) Number. — Verbs are modified by Number.
There are in verbs two numbers, the Singular and
the Plural. In the Singular we say, "He writes;" in
the Plural, "They write."
(10) Person. — Verbs are modified by Person — that
is, the form of the verb is changed to suit (i) the first
person, (ii) the second person, or (iii) the third per-
son; as (i) "I write." (ii) "Thou writest." (iii) "He
writes."
(a) Verbs must agree in number and person with
their subjects.
(b) Number and person appear thus in connection
with the irregular verb to be:
Singular. Plural.
First Person, I am. First Person, We are.
Second Person, Thou art. Second Person, You are.
Third Person, He is. Third Person, They are.
(11) Regular and Irregular Verbs. — A verb is said
to be Regular when it forms its Past Tense and Past
Participle by adding ed to the present tense; as, Present,
love; Past, loved; Past Participle, loved.
A verb is said to be Irregular when it does not form
its Past Tense and Past Participle by the addition of
ed to the present tense; as, Present, write; Past, wrote;
Past Participle, written,
(a) Examples of Regular Verbs:
Present Tense. Past Tense. . Past Participle.

(12) Defective Verbs. — Many verbs cannot be used
in all the moods and tenses; as, must, ought, quoth.
They are called Defective verbs.
(13) Auxiliary Verbs. — Auxiliary Verbs are help-
ing verbs ; they help to form the moods and tenses of
other verbs. They are shall, may, can, must, be, do,
have and zvill.
(a) Be, do, have and zvill, are sometimes used as
to hold a session;

principal verbs, and when so used they have all the
moods and tenses of other verbs; as, they may be away;
they do nothing; they have something; they will it to
be done.
(b) The verb to be as an auxiliary is used in all its
moods, tenses, numbers and persons to form the passive
voice of other words ; as, 1 am loved, I was /oved, I
have been loved.
(c) To be is irregular and intransitive, and has no
voice. Only transitive verbs have voice.
(14) Conjugation is the name given to the sum-
total of all the inflections and combinations of the parts
of the verb, as heretofore seen; or, it is the orderly
arrangement of its voices, moods, tenses, numbers and
persons.
(15) Conjugation of the irregular verb To be.
Observe the use made of the auxiliaries shall and will
in the future tenses, indicative mood, of to be. Shall
in the first person, and zvill in the second and third per-
sons, express future action simply. But if will be used
in the first person, and shall in the second and third
persons, then a promise or threat is implied.

(c) The Progressive Form of a verb represents
action, as in progress, but not complete, and is made by
placing before its present participle the moods, tenses,
numbers and persons of the verb To be; as, "I am sing-
ing." "I was singing." "I shall be singing."
(d) The Emphatic Form of verbs is produced by
placing the word Do, as an auxiliary, before them ; as, I
do love. This use of Do is proper only in the present
and past tenses of the indicative and subjunctive moods
and in the imperative.
VI.— THE ADVERB.
(1) An Adverb is a word which goes with a verb,
adjective or other adverb, to modify its meaning; as,
"He writes badly;' "The weather is very hot;" "She
writes very rapidly."
(2) Comparison, as with adjectives, may modify Ad-
verbs; as, soon, sooner, soonest. Adverbs ending in ly
are compared by prefixing more and most, less and
least; as, more or less happily; most or least happily.
(3) Adverbs, so far as their meaning is concerned,
are of several kinds or classes :
(a) Adverbs of Manner or Quality; as, Well, ill;
slowly, quickly; better, worse.
(b) Place; as, Here, there; hither, thither.
(c) Time; as, Now, then; to-day, to-morrow.
(d) Quantity; as, Much, little, enough.
(e) Direction; as, Downward, upward, forward.
(f) Number and Order; as, First, secondly; once,
twice; singly, doubly.
(g) Affirmation and Denial; as, Yes, no; indeed,
no-ivise.
(h) Interrogation; as, Hozv, why, when, where.
(i) Comparison; as, More, most; better, best.
(j) Uncertainty; as, perhaps, possibly, probably.
VII.— THE CONJUNCTION.
(1) A Conjunction is a word that connects words,
sentences, or part of sentences ; as, John and Jane are
happy; Two and three are five.
(2) The principal conjunctions are: After, also,
although, and, as, because, both, but, either, for, if, lest,
neither, nor, or, since, than, that, then, therefore, though,
unless, wherefore, whether, yet.
VIII.— PREPOSITIONS.
(1) A Preposition is a word which connects a
noun or pronoun with a verb, an adjective, or another
noun or pronoun, and shows the relation between the
words it connects. "He stood on the table." Here the
preposition on joins the verb stood and the noun table,
and shows the relation between them. "Mary is fond of
music." Here the preposition of joins the adjective
fond and the noun music, and shows the relation
between them. "The man at the door is waiting." Here
the preposition at joins the two nouns man and door,
and shows the relation between them.
(2) The noun or pronoun which follows a preposi-
tion is in the objective case, and is said to be governed
by the preposition.
(3) Prepositions are divided into two classes,
Simple and Compound.
(a) The Simple Prepositions are, at, after, by,
down, for, from, in, of, on, over, past, round, since,
through, till, to, under, up, with.
(b) The Compound Prepositions are formed by
uniting two words or parts of words. They are: above,
about, across, against, along, amid, amidst, among,
amongst, around, athwart, before, behind, below, beneath,
beside, besides, between, betwixt, beyond, upon, toward,
towards, unto, into, within, without, throughout, under-
neath.
IX.— THE INTERJECTION.
Interjections are words which have no meaning in
themselves, but which give sudden expression to an
emotion of the mind. They are followed by the excla-
mation mark; as, Oh! ah! alas!
(a) Among other exclamations the Interjections
embrace adieu, ah, aha, alack, alas, begone, ha, hail,
halloo, hark, hist, ho, hum, hush, huzza, lo, O, oh,
pshaw, see.
SYNTAX AND ANALYSIS.
(1) The word Syntax is from the Greek, and means
arrangement. Syntax, in grammar, is that part of it
which treats of the construction of sentences ; the
due arrangement of words in sentences in their neces-
sary relations, according to established usage in lan-
guage.
(2) Syntax is usually divided into two parts, Con-
cord and Government.
(a) Concord means agreement. The chief concords
in grammar are those of the verb with its subject; the
adjective with the noun; one noun with another; the
pronoun with the noun it stands for; the relative pro-
noun with its antecedent.
(b) Government is the influence one word has upon
another. The chief kinds of government are those of
the transitive verb and the noun ; a preposition and a
noun.
(3) Analysis treats of the separation of a sentence
into the parts which compose it.
I.— SYNTAX OF THE NOUN.
1. The Nominative Case.
Rule I.— The Subject of a verb must be in the
Nominative Case.
(a) Thus we say, "I write;" "John writes;" here
both / and John are the subjects of write, and are in the
nominative case.
28
OUR ENGLISH SPEECH.
(b) The subject of a verb may be (i) a noun; as,
John writes. (2) A pronoun ; as, He is good. (3) A
verb in the infinitive mood ; as, To sing is a pleasure.
(4) A participle; as, Reading promotes knowledge. (5)
A sentence or part of a sentence ; as, Thou slialt not kill
is a commandment. All the above are used as nouns.
(c) The usual place of a subject of a verb is before
the verb.
(d) In simple address, when a noun or pronoun is
not the subject of a verb, it is said to be in the Nom-
inative Case Independent.
Rule II. — When one noun is used to explain or
describe another, the two nouns are said to be in
Apposition, and they are always in the same case.
Thus : "So work the honey-bcM, Creatures that teach
the art of order." Here bees is the nominative of work,
and Creatures, being in apposition with bees, must also
be in the nominative case. Nouns in apposition may be,
in any case, nominative, possessive or objective.
Rule III. — The verb to be, and other verbs of a like
nature, take two nominatives, one before, and the
other after.
Thus : General Chaffee is a brave soldier. Here
Chaffee and soldier refer to the same person. One is
nominative before, the other nominative after it. The
is does nothing but connect them, and is called the
Copula.
Rule IV. — The verbs became, be-callcd, bc-named,
live, turn-out, prove, remain, seem, look, and others of
appositional meaning, take a nominative case after them
as well as before them.
Thus : Tom became an architect. Here Tom and
architect designate the same person. One is nominative
before, the other nominative after, became.
Rule V.— A noun and an adjective, or a noun and a
participle, or a noun and adjective phrase, not connected
with any other word in a sentence, are put in the Nom-
inative Absolute.
Thus: The wind shifting, we sailed slowly; Dinner
over, we went up stairs. Here the words in italics are
in the nominative absolute.
2. The Possessive Case.
Rule VI. — A noun or pronoun in the Possessive
Case depends on the noun signifying the thing pos-
sessed.
Thus : John's gun. Here John's depends on, or is
governed by, gun, the thing possessed.
Rule VII.— When two Possessives are in apposition,
or when several nouns connected by and are in the
possessive case, the sign of the possessive is affixed
to the last only.
Thus : George Washington's farewell address. For
thy servant David's sake. Messrs. Miller and Jones'
house.
3. The Objective Case.
Rule VIII. — The Direct Object of an active-transi-
tive verb is put in the Objective Case.
Thus : We met the man. We met him. I like to
work.
In the first instance the noun man is the objective;
in the second, the pronoun him; in the third, the infin-
itive to work.
Ca) The Objective Case is that case of a noun or
pronoun governed by a transitive verb or a preposition.
A direct object answers to question Whom? or What?
Rule IX. — Verbs of teaching, asking, making, ap-
pointing, etc., take two objectives.
Thus : He teaches me grammar. They made him
manager.
Rule X.— Some Intransitive verbs take an objective,
if it is similar to the verb itself.
Thus : To die the death. To sleep the sleep.
RuLfi XI. — Limitations of a verb by phrases express-
ing space, time, measure, etc., are in the objective case.
Thus : He walked three miles. The stone weighed
ten pounds.
II.— SYNTAX OF THE ARTICLE.
Rule XII.— An Article modifies the noun to which
it relates.
Thus : _ James wrote a letter. He opened the book.
Here a is the indefinite article modifying letter; and
the the definite article modifying book.
III.— SYNTAX OF THE ADJECTIVE.
Rule XIII.— An Adjective modifies the noun or pro-
noun to which it relates.
Thus: James wrote a long letter. Here the adjective
long modifies or describes the noun letter.
(a) Sometimes the noun which the adjective de-
scribes or modifies is omitted ; as, Of two evils choose
the least; that is, the least evil.
(b) An Adjective sometimes modifies a verb in the
infinitive mood, or a part of a sentence ; as, To play
is pleasant. Use of profane language is wicked. Here
pleasant modifies the infinitive to play; and wicked
modifies the part of the sentence, use of profane lan-
guage.
(c) An Adjective may, especially in poetry, be used
as an abstract noun; as, the True; the Good; the
Beautiful.
(d) The Distributive Adjective pronouns, each,
every, either, neither, go with singular nouns only; as,
Each boy got an apple ; Either book will do.
(e) Of the Demonstrative Adjective pronouns, this
and that are singular, these and those plural.
(f) A Participle is a pure adjective and modifies
the noun or pronoun to which it relates ; as, The boy,
loving his mother, ran to meet her. Here the participle
loving relates to the noun boy and modifies it.
IV.— SYNTAX OF THE PRONOUN.
Rule XIV. — A Pronoun agrees with the noun or
pronoun for which it stands, in Gender, Number and
Person.
(a) With Collective nouns, when the idea is singu-
lar, the pronoun must be in the singular, neuter; as,
The class is too large; it must be divided. But if the
idea be plural, the pronoun must be plural ; as, Send
the multitude away that they may buy bread.
(b) When a pronoun stands for two or more words
connected by and, it should be in the plural; as, William
and James passed by ; I saw them.
(c) When a pronoun stands for two words con-
nected by and. both words expressive of the same sub-
ject, it should be in the singular; as, My Lord and
Savior, I love Him.
(d) When a pronoun stands for two or more words
connected by or or nor, it should be in the singular; as,
Neither play nor work is injurious, if it is carefully
done. But when one of the words connected by or or
nor is plural, then the pronoun should be plural ; as,
Neither the Captain nor Crew knew their danger.
(e) When a pronoun stands for two or more words
connected by and. but of different persons, it agrees
with the first person in preference to the second, and
with the second in preference to the third ; as, John and
I had our skates with us.
A STUDY OF THE FORMS AND RELATIONS OF ENGLISH SPEECH.
29
(f) A pronoun may stand for an infinitive mood, or
part of a sentence, and in such cases should be in the
neuter gender, singular number, third person; as, To
contradict is rude, but it is not criminal. She is very
handsome, but unfortunately knows it.
(g) The pronoun it, in the neuter gender, third per-
son, singular number, is sometimes used indefinitely ;
as, It rains. It snows.
(h) Who refers to persons; Which to the lower
animals, inanimate things and sometimes to infants.
It formerly applied to persons; as, "Our Father which
art in heaven."
(i) That is used instead of Who or Which, after a
Superlative ; as, It is the best book that can be got.
It is similarly used after Same, all, who used interroga-
tively, and it used indefinitely, when these occur in
sentences.
V.— SYNTAX OF THE VERB.
Rule XV. — A Verb must agree with its subject in
Number and Person.
(a) The Subject answers to the question Who? or
What?
(b) The Subject of a verb is always in the nomina-
tive case.
Rule XVI. — Two or more singular nouns connected
by or or nor require a verb in the singular; as, Either
Tom or John is going.
Rule XVII. — Two or more singular nouns that are
subjects, connected by and, require their verb in the
plural ; as, Tom and John are going.
Rule XVIII. — Collective nouns implying unity take
a singular verb; but when they imply plurality they
take a plural verb ; as, Parliament was dissolved. The
Committee are divided.
Rule XIX. — The verb to be is often attracted to the
same number as the nominative that follows it ; as,
"The wages of sin is death."
Rule XX. — A Transitive verb in the active voice
governs its direct object in the objective case; as, I
like him. They dislike her. John struck James.
(a) The Participle, which is an adjective, has the
same governing power as a verb ; as, seeing the rain,
I staid at home. Here the participle seeing agrees with
/ as an adjective, and governs rain as a verb.
(b) The object of the verb may be (i) a noun; as,
Jane wrote a letter. (2) A pronoun; as, We saw him.
(3) A verb in the infinitive mood or an infinitive phrase;
as, He tried to win the prize. Boys love to play ball.
(4) A participle or participial phrase; as, Boys, stop
that talking. (5) A sentence or part of a sentence; as,
God said, "Let there be light." In all the above in-
stances the objectives are used as nouns.
(c) The place of the object is usually after the verb.
(d) The Participle of an active transitive verb re-
quires, in the active voice, an object in the objective
case; as, The boy, having eaten unripe fruit, became
sick.
(e) A Relative Pronoun, when in the objective case,
is generally placed before the verb it governs; as, The
horse which you bought is fine. Here which is the
object of the verb bought (you bought which).
VI.— SYNTAX OF THE ADVERB.
Rule XXI. — Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives and
other adverbs to which they relate ; as, James wrote a
letter hastily. A thoroughly bad man.
Rule XXII. — The Adverb ought to be placed as near
as possible to the word which it modifies. We should
not say "He only gave me three dollars ;" but, "He
gave mc only three dollars," because only modifies three.
(a) Adverbs are often used indefinitely and merely
to introduce a verb ; as, There is no truth in you.
(b) Adverbs like yea, yes, nay, no, amen, etc., do
not modify any verb.
(c) Adverbs should not be used as modifiers, where
adjectives are proper; as, The flowers looked pretty,
not prettily.
(d) A double use of negatives is improper; as, "I
cannot by 110 means allow it," should read "I can by
no means allow it."
(e) Adverbs are sometimes preceded by preposi-
tions ; as, At once, for ever. This form is still an ad-
verb or adverbial phrase.
VII.— SYNTAX OF THE PREPOSITION.
Rule XXIII. — All Prepositions in the English lan-
guage govern the Objective Case; as, "James wrote a
letter to his father." Here to is a preposition, showing
the relation between wrote and father, and governs
father in the objective case.
(a) Prepositions are often followed by an adjec-
tive without the noun objective. In such cases it must
be supplied in parsing; as, "Keep to the right" means
"Keep to the right side."
(b) Prepositions are often omitted after certain
classes of verbs, adjectives and nouns ; as, "Give me a
book" equals "Give to me a book." "Get me an apple"
means "Get for me an apple.
(c) Double Prepositions should be regarded as
one ; as, "From before the altar."
(d) Special Prepositions. — Perhaps the most fre-
quent and annoying errors in common speech and writ-
ing are those made in the use of special prepositions.
The following list embraces those in which errors are
most common, the preposition in italics being the cor-
rect one :
Absolve from
Abhorrence for
Accord with
Acquit of
Affinity between
Adapted to (intent)
Adapted for (by nature)
Agree with (a person)
Agree to (a proposition)
Angry with
Bestow upon
Change for (a thing)
Change with (a person)
Change of (apparel)
Confer on (favor)
Confer with (talk)
Confide in (trust)
Confide to (give to)
Conform to
Conformity with
Comply with
Convenient to (person)
Convenient for (purpose)
Conversant with
Differ from (opinion)
Differ with (person)
Different from
Disappointed of (hopes)
Disappointed in (what you have)
Dissent from
Exception from (a rule)
Exception to (statement)
Followed by
Glad of (possession)
Glad at (the news)
Independent of
Involve in
Martyr for (a cause)
Martyr to (disease)
Necessity for
Need of (bread)
Need for (a thing)
Part from (one)
Part with (a thing)
Profit by
Reconcile to (a person)
Reconcile with (statement)
Taste of (food)
Taste for (reading)
Thirst for (water)
Thirst for or after (knowledge)
Correspond with (one)
Correspond to (a thing)
Dependent on
Derogatory to
The tendency to use needless prepositions should be
studiously corrected ; as, "In what place was he found
in?" for "In what place was he found?" "Where am I
at?" for "Where am I?"
VIII.— SYNTAX OF THE CONJUNCTION.
Rule XXIV. — A Conjunction connects the Words,
Sentences, Phrases and Clauses between which it
stands.
(a) The words connected by conjunctions must be
of the same class ; that is, nouns with nouns, pronouns
with pronouns, adjectives with adjectives, verbs with
verbs, adverbs with adverbs, etc. ; as, "James and John
are brothers." "We saw him and her."
30
OUR ENGLISH SPEECH.
(b) In connecting words and clauses by means of
two conjunctions, the conjunctions must correspond to
each other; as, "It is neither hot nor cold."
(c) It is plain that the Conjunction and must make
two singulars equal to a plural; as, "He and I are of
the same age."
(d) When corresponding Conjunctions are used, let
it be remembered that so and as require an as after
them ; though requires yet; whether, or; either, or;
neither, nor; nor, nor; or, or. Example :
"Though deep, yet clear; though gentle, yet not dull."
(e) Certain adjectives also require special Conjunc-
tions after them. Such (adj.) requires as after it;
both (adj.) requires and; as, "Would I describe a
preacher such as Paul."
(f) The Conjunction that is often omitted; as, "Yet
Brutus says he was ambitious !" Here that is omitted
before he.
IX.— THE SYNTAX OF THE INTERJECTION.
Rule XXV. — An Interjection has no dependence on
any other word. In parsing, all that is necessary is
to tell what part of speech it is.
X.— ANALYSIS.
Analysis is the process of taking a sentence to
pieces, and accounting for each piece.
(i) A Sentence is a number of words put together
so as to make complete sense; as, "The horse gallops."
"Man is mortal."
A sentence may consist of a single word ; as, "Strike ;"
"Depart."
(2) Every sentence must consist of at least two
parts. These two parts are the thing we speak about
and what we say of the thing.
(a) The Subject is what we speak about. "Jane
loves." Here Jane is the Subject.
(b) The Predicate is what we say of the subject.
"Jane loves." Here loves is the Predicate.
(c) Sometimes the Subject is not expressed, but is
understood; as, "Go!" equal to "Go you!"
(d) The Grammatical Subject is simply the noun
or pronoun which is the subject of the sentence; as,
"Man lives." Man is the Grammatical subject.
(e) The Logical Subject includes all the attendant
words which serve to modify the subject; as, "The good
old man still lives." Here The good old man is the
logical subject.
(3) A Simple Subject is a single noun or pronoun,
the subject of a verb, with no modifying word or
words ; as, "William plowed the field." "He wrote a
letter."
(4) A Complex Subject is one in which the noun
or pronoun which is the subject of the verb is accom-
panied by some modifying word or words ; as, "The
bad boy. afraid of a whipping, staid away from school."
Here all the words in italics limit or modify the sub-
ject boy, and make it Complex.
(5) The single words, phrases and clauses which
make a subject complex are called Adjuncts of the
subj ect.
(6) The ways in which Adjuncts modify the sub-
ject are as follows:
(a) By an article; as, "The boy ran away."
(b) By an adjective; as, Great men are few."
(c) By a noun or pronoun in apposition; as, "George
Washington, President, is dead." "Jane herself came
home."
(d) By a noun or pronoun in the possessive case;
as, "John's coat is warm."
(e) By a participle; as, "Men fighting are a sad
sight."
(f) By a verb in the infinite mood; as, "The time
to study is now here."
(g) By a prepositional phrase; as, "The opportunity
of the hour should not be lost."
(h) By a participial phrase; as, "The wind, blowing
a hurricane, did much damage."
(i) By a clause; as, "The hope that he might be
pardoned sustained him."
(j) Nouns, adjectives, adverbs, participles and in-
finitives which go to form Adjuncts may themselves
be modified by other adjuncts.
(7) Compound Subjects are those which consist
of two or more subjects, simple or complex, connected
by one or more conjunctions; as, "Men and women are
human beings." Here are really two sentences, "Men
are human beings." "Women are human beings."
(8) Of the Predicate.— Predicates, like Subjects,
are Grammatical and Logical.
(a) The Grammatical Predicate is simply the finite
verb to which the noun or pronoun forming the gram-
matical subject is nominative; as, "The boy runs."
Runs is the Grammatical Predicate.
(b) The Logical Predicate is the verb of which the
noun or pronoun is the subject, together with all the
words which may modify the verb ; as, "John has finally
reached home in safety." Here the words in italics
modify has reached, and constitute the Logical Predi-
cate.
(c) The Simple Predicate is a single finite verb
having a noun or pronoun for its subject; as, "The
water has frozen."
(d) A Complex Predicate is one in which the mean-
ing of the verb is modified by some accompanying word
or words ; as, "Men will strive to be as rich as they
can." Here the predicate will strive is rendered com-
plex by the accompanying words in italics.
(e) Predicates, like Subjects, are rendered complex
by three kinds of adjuncts, Single Words, Phrases and
Clauses ; as, "John walks slowly." "John walked to his
home in great haste." "John walked to his home which
ivas in the valley."
(f) The Adjuncts which modify Predicates may
themselves be modified by other adjuncts.
(g) A Compound Predicate consists of two or
more predicates, simple or complex, united by one or
more conjunctions; as, "John loves and reverences
God;" that is. "John loves God, John reverences God."
XL— ANALYSIS OF SENTENCES.
(1) A Simple Sentence is a sentence which con-
sists of one subject and one predicate. Both the sub-
ject and predicate may be accompanied by modifying
words or phrases, and yet the sentence remain simple.
"John struck James." "John in a fit of anger struck
James a hard blow." Both of these are simple sen-
tences.
(2) But when a Clause modifies the subject or
predicate, the sentence is no longer simple, but Com-
plex; as, "A life zvhich is spent in doing good cannot
be a failure." Here the words in italics constitute a
Clause, and render the sentence complex.
(3) When two or more sentences are connected by
a conjunction they constitute a Compound Sentence;
as, "John went into the woods, and shot two squirrels."
Here John is the subject of both went and shot.
(4) As to their form or use, sentences are of three
kinds: Assertive or Declarative, Interrogative and
Imperative.
A STUDY OF THE FORMS AND RELATIONS OF ENGLISH SPEECH.
31
(a) An Assertive or Declarative Sentence simply
asserts or denies; as, "The night grows cold." "I am
not going." »
(b) An Interrogative Sentence asks a question;
as, "Whom do you seek?"
(c) An Imperative Sentence always contains a
verb in the imperative mood; as, "Look to your man-
ners." In imperative sentences the subject is usually
omitted, as in the above example.
(5) A Phrase is a series of words connected in
meaning, but without a predicate, and not making com-
plete sense by themselves; as, "December, the month
of snows, has come." "The reason for his failure was
recklessness." "The King being dead, his son suc-
ceeded."
(6) A Clause of a sentence contains a verb and its
subject, making complete sense; yet it is not inde-
pendent, being used to modify some other part or parts
of a sentence of which it is a part ; as, "The boy who is
studious will learn." "He staid at home until it ceased
raining."
(7) The parts of a sentence united by a conjunction
to form a compound sentence are called the Members
of the sentence; as, "The sun had risen, and the grass
was scorched." Here are two Members united to form
a compound sentence.
PROSODY,
Prosody is that part of grammar which deals with
the laws and nature of verse.
(1) English verse is made up of lines; each line of
verse contains a fixed number of accents ; each accent
has a fixed number of unaccented syllables attached
to it.
Who loves' I not rhore' I the night' | of June'
Than dull' | Decern' | ber s gloom' | of noon' ?
(2) One accented syllable with one or two unac-
cented, taken together, is called a foot. A foot is the
unit of metre.
(3) An Iambus is one accented syllable preceded
by one unaccented; as, Perhaps'; compel'; career'.
(4) A Trochee is one accented syllable followed by
one unaccented; as, Gent'le; la'dy; raven.
(5) An Anapest is one accented syllable preceded
by two unaccented ; as, Serenade' ; disappear'.
(6) A Dactyl is one accented syllable followed by
two unaccented; as, Hap'pily; merrily.
(7) An Amphibrach is an accented syllable with one
unaccented on each side of it; as, Despairing; al-
might'y.
(8) A verse made up of iambuses is called Iambic
Verse; of trochees, Trochaic; of anapests, Anapestic;
of dactyls, Dactylic.
(9) A verse of three feet is called Trimeter; of
four feet, Tetrameter; of five feet, Pentameter; of
six feet, Hexameter.
(10) Rhymed Iambic Pentameter is called Heroic
verse; when unrhymed it is called Blank verse.
(11) Iambic Trimeter consists of three iambuses.
The king' | was on' | his throne';
His sa' I traps thronged' | the hall'.
(12) Iambic Tetrameter consists of four iambuses.
The fire' [ with well' | dried logs' | supplied'.
(13) Iambic Pentameter consists of five iambuses.
True wit' | in na' | ture to' | advan' | tage dressed'.
(14) Iambic Hexameter consists of six iambuses.
Upon' [ the mid' | lands now' | the indus' | trious
muse' I doth fall'.
(15) The above pretends to be hexameter, but it is
really two trimeter verses printed in one long line,
and is very monotonous.
(16) Trochaic Tetrameter consists of four trochees.
When' the | heath' en | trump' et | 's clang.
(17) Trochaic Octometer consists of eight tro-
chees.
Com' rades | leave' me | here' a | lit' tie, | while' as ! yet' 'tis 1
ear' ly | morn'.
(18) Anapestic Tetrameter consists of four ana-
pests.
And the clan' | has a name' | that is name' | less by day'.
(19) Dactylic Dimeter consists of two dactyls.
Can' non to 1 right' of them,
Can' non to | left' of them.
(20) Dactylic Tetrameter consists of four dactyls.
High'est and | best' are the | sons' of the | morn' ing.
Here the last foot is a trochee, which is allowable.
(21) Amphibrachic Tetrameter consists of four
amphibrachs.
There came' to | the breach' a | poor ex' ile | of E'rin.
(22) A verse with a syllable over and above the
number of feet of which it consists is called Hyper-
metrical.
Day af [ ter day, | day af I ter day
We stuck; | nor breath | nor mo | tion, (hyper.)
As i I die as I a paint | ed ship |
Upon I a paint | ed o | cean. (hyper.)
(23) A verse with a syllable wanting to the number
of feet of which it consists is said to be Defective.
Slaug' tered | down' by | heath' en | blade, (defective.)
(24) Rhyme is a correspondence in sound at the
ends of lines of poetry. Rhyme, to be good, must
satisfy four conditions. These are :
(a) The rhyming syllable must be accented. Thus
ring rhymes with sing; but not with think' ing.
(b) The vowel must be the same, to the ear, at
least, though not necessarily to the eye. Thus lose and
close are good rhymes.
(c) The final consonant must be the same; as,
clang, rang. But mix rhymes with tricks, because
x = ks.
(d) The preceding consonant must be different ; as,
Beat, feet; jump, pump.
(25) The Rhythm, or musical flow of verse, de-
pends on the varied succession of phrases of different
lengths, but most of all upon the Cesura, which is the
rest, halt, break or pause in a line for the voice in
reading aloud. It is found in both short and long
lines.
More pleased that I | in a barbarous age
He gave rude Scotland | | Virgil's page.
Now, Lycidas, | | the shepherds weep no more;
Henceforth | | thou are the genius of the shore.
(26) The Stanza is a group of rhymed lines.
(a) A Couplet is a stanza of two rhymed lines.
(b) A Triplet is a stanza of three rhymed lines.
(c) A Quartrain is a stanza of four rhymed lines,
of which the first (sometimes) rhymes with the third,
and the second always with the fourth.
(d) A Sextant is a stanza of six lines, with the
second, fourth and sixth lines rhyming. But the ar-
rangement of rhyming lines may vary.
(e) An Octave, or Ottava, is a stanza of eight
lines, with a varying arrangement of rhyming lines.
(f) The Spenserian stanza, so called because
Spenser first used it in his "Faerie Queen," is a stanza
of nine lines.
(g) A Sonnet is a short poem of fourteen lines,
with the rhymes arranged in a peculiar way. The first
eight lines of a sonnet are called its octave, and the
last six, its sestette.
ENGLISH COMPOSITION;
OR, THE TURNING OF WORDS INTO SENTENCES.
PART I. LANGUAGE.
LESSON i.
1. Language is the means of expressing thought by
words; it is both oral and written.
2. Oral Language expresses thought by combina-
tions of sounds, called words.
3. Written Language expresses thought by means
of combination of characters or letters that stand for
words.
LESSON 2.
THE SENTENCES.
4. A Sentence is a thought expressed in words,
either spoken or written.
5. A 'sentence in its simplest form is the statement
of a single fact, thus : Dugs bark. The man walks.
Each of these sentences contains two parts.
6. Say something about the wind. The wind blows.
7. Make a statement about The wind blows.
8. Express a thought about the wind. The wind
blows.
9. Make a sentence about the wind. The wind blows.
10. In the sentence, The wind blows, wind is the
subject, because it is the thing about which something
has been said.
11. Say something about a thing that blows. The
wind blows.
12. Make a statement about something that blows.
The wind blows.
13. Express a thought about something that blows.
The icind blows.
14. Make a sentence about something that blows.
The wind blows.
15. In the sentence, "The wind blows," blows is the
predicate, because it is that which is said of the subject.
16. Every sentence contains a thought.
17. Every sentence must have a subject and a pred-
icate.
18. The subject is that which something is said
about.
19. The predicate is that which says something about
the subject.
LESSON 3.
THE SENTENCE.
20. A simple statement is called a proposition.
21. Every proposition contains a subject and a
predicate.
22. A sentence may consist of a single proposition
or a combination of propositions. Thus : The wind
blew. This is a simple proposition. The wind blew
and the rain fell. This sentence is a combination of
Uvo propositions.
23. A clause is one of two or more united proposi-
tions. As, When the signal zvas given, the gate was
opened and the horses rushed across the field. This
sentence is composed of three clauses: (1) When the
signal was given, (2) the gate was opened, (3) the
horses rushed across the field.
The subject of the first clause is signal, the predicate
rushed.
A phrase is a combination of words ; but, unlike the
clause, it has no subject or predicate; as. In the spring;
on the hill; between the rocks.
LESSON 4.
THE SENTENCE— NOUN AND VERB.
24. A noun is a word used as a name of some ob-
ject or quality; as, Charles, cow, chair, goodness.
A noun is a part of speech.
25. The subject of a sentence or a clause always
contains a noun or something used as a noun. It is
that about which something is said.
26. A verb is a word that denotes some action, state
or being; as, walk, ride, is living. A verb is a part of
speech.
27. The predicate of a sentence or of a clause always
contains a verb. It is that which says something about
the subject.
28. In the sentence, "The black dog ran swiftly,"
dog is a noun and is the subject; ran is the verb and
is the predicate.
LESSON 5.
THE PRINCIPAL ELEMENTS OF A SENTENCE.
29. The principal elements of a sentence or a clause
are the subject and predicate. Hence the principal ele-
ments of a sentence or a clause are nouns and verbs.
30. The subject is simple when the affirmation made
by the predicate is concerning only one thing; as.
Snow melts.
31. The subject is compound when, the affirmation
is made concerning more than one thing; as, Snow
and Ice melt.
32. The predicate of a proposition or clause is either
simple or compound.
33. The predicate is simple when but one affirma-
tive is made; as, The lambs run.
34. The predicate is compound when more than one
affirmation is made; as, The lambs run and skip.
35. The subject and predicate may both be com-
pound ; as, Boys and girls "work and play.
LESSON 6.
MODIFYING ELEMENTS.
36. The modifying elements are adjective elements,
adverbial elements, objective elements, connective ele-
ments and independent elements.
37. Adjective Elements. — Words that modity a
noun or anything that is used instead of a noun are
called adjectives; as the black dog; the szt'ift horse;
five cows. The, black, S"wift and five are adject've*.
(32)
ENGLISH COMPOSITION.
33
An adjective is a part of speech. Adjectives are called
adjective elements. Phrases and clauses, used like ad-
jectives, are called adjective elements; as, "Star of the
sianiner night." Of the summer night is a phrase. It
is used like an adjective to modify star. Hence it is
an adjective element. "The star that set too early."
That set too early is a clause used like an adjective
to modify star. Hence it is an adjective element.
38. Adverbial Elements. — A word used to modify
a verb or an adjective is called an adverb. "The horse
ran swiftly." Swiftly modifies the verb ran. Hence it
is an adverb.
(a) "A very tall man passed by." Very modifies
the adjective tall. Hence it is an adverb.
(b) Words that modify adverbs are called adverbs;
as, "The horse ran very swiftly." Very modifies the
adverb swiftly. Hence it is an adverb. The adverb is
a part of speech.
(c) Adverbs and phrases and clauses used like
adverbs are called adverbial elements; as, "He walks
in the dark." In the dark is a phrase modifying the
verb walks. Hence it is used like an adverb and is
an adverbial element.
"The dog barks when he sees a tramp." The clause
when he sees a tramp modifies the verb barks, like an
adverb. Hence it is an adverbial element.
39. Connective Elements. — Words that connect
other words are called conjunctions; as, Dogs and cats
are animals." The word and connects the word dogs
with cats.
40. Conjunctive Adverbs. — Some adverbs perform
the double office of modifying some word and connect-
ing two clauses ; as, "He saw the boat when it passed
under the bridge." When connects the principal clause,
He saiv the boat, and the subordinate clause, it passed
under the bridge. It also modifies the verb passed.
When is a conjunctive adverb.
41. Prepositions. — Words that join other words and
show relation between them are called prepositions.
The preposition is a part of speech; as, "The boy sat
on his sled." The word on connects the words sat and
sled and shows the relation between them. It forms
with sled the adverbial phrase on his sled.
42. Objective Elements. — Words used to complete
the meaning of verbs and prepositions are called ob-
jects. Hence objective elements ; as, "The dog bit the
boy." The word boy completes the meaning of the
verb bit and is said to be the object of the verb bit.
"The boy sat on his sled." The word sled completes
the meaning of on and is said to be the object of the
preposition on.
The objects of verbs and prepositions are called
objective elements.
43. Independent Elements. — Words used to express
some strong or sudden emotion are called interjec-
tions; as, "Ah! that is the trouble." The interjection
is a part of speech.
Nouns and words, used independently, and interjec-
tions are called independent elements; as, "Friend, you
are unwise."
Phrases and clauses, used like interjections, are in-
dependent elements ; as, "Of all things, I never said so."
"Oh ! that we were wise."
44. Attributive Elements. — Words, phrases and
clauses used in the predicate, but relating to the sub-
ject, are called attributes; as, "The boy is good." "He
is of strong mind." "My judgment is that you will
succeed."
45. The Copula. — The verb be and its forms, am, is,
was, are, were, been, etc., are usually used to connect
the subject to its attribute; as, "John is good." "He
was a strong man." Is connects John with its attribute
good. Was connects he with its attribute man.
LESSON 7.
CLASSIFICATION OF SENTENCES.
46. Sentences are divided, with respect to use, into
four classes : declarative, interrogative, imperative and
exclamatory.
47. A declarative sentence is used to affirm or to
deny ; as, "Birds fly."
48. An interrogative sentence is used to ask a ques-
tion; as, "What is the matter?"
49. An imperative sentence is used to express a
command, entreaty or request; as, "Lend me your
book."
50. An exclamatory sentence is used in exclamation
or to express strong emotion ; as, "Alas ! I shall perish."
51. Sentences are divided, with respect to form, into
three classes : simple, complex and compound.
52. A simple sentence consists of but one proposi-
tion; as, "Stars shine." "Who comes here?" "Move
slowly."
53. Propositions are either principal or subordinate,
and are usually called clauses.
54. A principal clause is one which makes complete
sense when standing alone.
55. A subordinate clause is one which must be con-
nected with another clause to make complete sense ; as,
"The man that does no good does harm."
Note. — In this sentence, "The man does harm" is the
principal proposition, for it makes complete sense when
standing alone. "That does no good" is the subordinate
proposition, for it does not make complete sense unless
connected with the other proposition. It modifies man.
56. A complex sentence consists of a principal
clause, with either itself, or some part of itself, modi-
fied by a subordinate clause, used as an element ; as,
"Leaves fall when autumn comes." "He who is diligent
will win the race." "I hear that you have bought a
fine residence."
57. A compound sentence consists of two or more
propositions joined by coordinate connectives; as,
"Summer comes and fruit ripens." "I go, but I re-
turn."
Notes. — I. Propositions or clauses composing com-
pound sentences are called members.
II. The propositions composing compound or complex
sentences may themselves be compound or complex.
III. Relative pronouns, subordinate conjunctions and
conjunctive adverbs are used to connect the dependent
clauses of complex sentences to the principal clause,
and to each other when they themselves are complex.
IV. Sometimes the connectives are omitted; as,
Talent is power, tact is skill."
58. A prepositional phrase is one which is intro-
duced by a preposition ; as, "Of a truth." It is fre-
quently called an adjunct.
59. A complex phrase is one that contains a phrase
or a clause, as a modifying adjunct of its principal
part ; as, "In the varieties of life." Of life is an ad-
junct or phrase modifying varieties.
60. A compound phrase is one composed of two or
more coordinate phrases ; as, "Stooping down and look-
ing in." "Over the bridge and around the bridge."
61. An infinitive phrase is one, the principal part of
which is a verb, and is usually preceded by to; as, "To
34
OUR ENGLISH SPEECH.
do good." The participle is a form of the verb, used
like an adjective; as, "The knife taken from the table
was Jackson's." Taken modifies knife like an adjec-
tive and is made from the verb take.
62. A participial phrase is one, the principal part of
which is a participle ; as, "A measure founded on
justice."
Note. — A phrase may be used as a subject, object or
attribute, or it may be an adverbial or an adjective
modifier, or it may be independent.
"To achieve success was his aim," phrase used as
subject. "I like to study arithmetic," phrase used as
object. "To miss the concert was to lose a great pleas-
ure," phrase used as attribute. "Imagine a palace of
ivory and pearl," phrase used as adjective modifier.
"The old soldiers fought with bravery," phrase used as
adverbial modifier. "To speak plainly, he is your best
friend," independent phrase.
LESSON 8.
ANALYSIS OF SENTENCES.
63. The analysis of a sentence is the separation of
it into its parts or elements.
Example i. — Grant met Lee.
Explanation. — This is a sentence; declarative, simple
(why?). Grant is the subject; met is the predicate
verb and is modified by Lee, an objective element.
64. Example 2. — What did you see?
This is a sentence; declarative, simple (why?).
You is the subject; did see is the predicate verb
(why?). The predicate verb is modified by what, an
objective element.
65. Example 3.— Bring me water.
This is a sentence; imperative (why?). Thou or
you understood is the subject; bring is the predicate
verb (why?). The predicate verb is modified by water,
a direct objective element, and by me, an indirect ob-
jective element.
66. Example 4. — They have chosen John clerk.
This is a sentence; declarative, simple (why?). They
is the subject; have chosen is the predicate verb
(why?). The predicate verb is modified by John, an
objective element, and- John is modified by clerk, an
adjective element denoting office.
67. Example 5. — The boat glides smoothly.
This is a sentence; declarative, simple (why?). Boat
is the subject nominative; glides is the predicate verb.
The subject nominative is modified by the, an adjective
element ; the predicate verb is modified by smoothly,
an adverbial element.
68. Example 6. — William is strictly honest.
This is a sentence; declarative, simple (why?). Wil-
liam is the subject; is is the predicate verb (or copula) ;
honest is the attribute (why?). The attribute is modi-
fied by strictly, an adverbial element.
69. Example 7. — Large rocks are plenty.
This is a sentence ; declarative, simple. Rocks is the
subject nominative; are plenty is the predicate verb
(why?). The subject nominative is modified by large,
an adjective element. Are is the copula (why?).
Plenty is the attribute.
70. Example 8.— The dog broke the boy's arm.
Dog is the subject nominative, modified by the, an
adjective element. Broke, the predicate verb, is modi-
fiedby arm, an objective element. Arm is modified by
boy's, an adjective element. Boy's arm is modified by
the, an adjective element. (Some may regard the as
a modifier of arm.)
I. Compound Subjects. — 1. He and / went to Lon-
don.
II. Compound Predicates. — 1. The bank clerk
wrote the draft and handed it to the cashier for sig-
nature.
IN. Compound Objective Elements. — 1. He had a
good mind, a sound judgment and a lively imagination.
IV. Compound Adjective Elements. — 1. He was a
good, faithful and generous man.
V. Compound Adverbial Elements. — 1. "Man is
fearfully and wonderfully made."
The following are the principal rules for the use
of capital letters :
71. Begin with a capital —
The first word of every sentence.
The first word of every line of poetry.
The first word of a quotation, maxim or question in-
troduced in the direct form; as, Emerson says "Trust
thyself."
The first word of each statement in a series, when
formally enumerated ; as, The essay will be marked on
the following things: I. Thought; 2. Composition;
3. Conciseness; 4. Neatness.
72. Also begin with capitals proper nouns or words
directly derived from proper nouns; as, Emerson, Cape
of Good Hope, Monroe Doctrine.
73. Names applied to Deity, and usually pronouns
referring to God; as, Jehovah— The Eternal' Goodness.
74. Names of months, days of the week and holi-
days; as, January, Sunday.
75. Every important word in the title of a book,
essay, poem, etc. ; as, The Forest Hymn.
76. The name of an important event in history or
of an epoch of time; as, The Rebellion; The War of
the Roses.
77. Titles of office or honor when applied to par-
ticular persons or used in connection with proper
names; as, Lord Byron, Chief Justice Marshall, Uncle
John.
78. The name of a religious sect or a political
party; as, Methodists, The Tories.
79. Common nouns, strongly personified ; as, O
Life ! how pleasant is thy morning.
80. Any point of the compass when it denotes a
section of the country; as, They went from the East
to the South.
The words / and O should always be capitals
PART II. SYNTAX.
Many of the laws of Syntax have been illustrated,
but a more general treatment will now follow.
1. A sentence is a thought expressed in words, and
it may be oral or written.
2. A thought may be expressed as a statement, a
question, a command or an exclamation.
In whatever form the sentence is expressed, it must
contain a subject and a predicate; yet either the sub-
ject or the predicate may be understood.
SIMPLE SENTENCE.
3. A simple sentence contains but one subject and
one predicate.
4. The subject of a sentence is the word or words
that name the thing about which an assertion is made.
5. The predicate of a sentence is the word or words
that assert something about the subject.
6. The simple sentence may have for its subject
ENGLISH COMPOSITION.
35
simply a noun or an equivalent, and for its predicate
a finite verb.
7. Both subject and predicate of a simple sentence
may be modified to any degree, provided that no
modifying element is a clause. Thus : Early in the
morning of a beautiful spring day the rising sun, break-
ing through the dark foliage, fell beautifully upon the
green lawn sloping gently to the south.
8. The modifying elements of the simple sentence
are words and phrases.
COMPLEX SENTENCES.
9. The complex sentence differs from the simple
sentence in that it has one or more clauses used as
modifying elements. Thus: When the spring comes
the birds sing. The birds sing is the principal thought
and makes complete sense when standing alone. It,
therefore, is the principal or independent clause.
When the spring comes does not make complete sense
when standing alone, and therefore is called the sub-
ordinate clause.
10. A complex sentence must contain a principal
clause and one or more subordinate clauses, used as
modifying elements or as a substantive.
CLASSIFICATION OF CLAUSES.
11. The adjective clause is a clause used like an
adjective. The following sentences compare the use of
adjective clauses to the use of adjectives.
SIMPLE SENTENCES WITH ADJECTIVES OR ADJECTIVE
PHRASES.
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
A sleepy dog never barks.
An honest man is a good citizen.
COMPLEX SENTENCES WITH ADJECTIVE CLAUSES.
A friend who helps in time of need is a friend indeed.
The dog that sleeps never barks.
The man who is honest is a good citizen.
Most adjective clauses are relative clauses; that is,
clauses introduced either by relative pronouns or by
relative adverbs of place or time :
The squirrel which the boy had tamed escaped.
The dog that worried the cat lived in Jack's house.
The place where man died for man is holy ground.
The time when this happens will be a day of sorrow.
12. The noun modified by a clause introduced by a
relative pronoun is always the antecedent of the pro-
noun.
ADVERBIAL CLAUSES.
13. The following sentences will illustrate the use
of the adverb or adverbial phrase and the adverbial
•clause.
SIMPLE SENTENCES WITH ADVERBS OR ADVERBIAL
PHRASES.
He started at sunrise.
In his boyhood he was truthful.
COMPLEX SENTENCES WITH ADVERBIAL CLAUSES.
He started when the sun had risen.
When he was a boy he was truthful.
14. Subordinate clauses used as adverbial modifiers
■are called adverbial clauses.
15. Adverbial clauses may be introduced by ad-
verbs of place, time or manner; as, where, whether,
whence, zvhile, when, after, before, how, as, until.
16. Adverbial clauses are often introduced by the
subordinate conjunctions although, because, though, if,
that, in order that, so that.
17. Adverbial clauses may modify verbs, adjectives
and adverbs.
NOUN CLAUSES.
18. Subordinate clauses may be used as a noun or
substantive.
Compare the two sentences :
Success is certain.
That we shall succeed is certain.
The two sentences express the same thing. In the
first sentence the noun success is the subject.
In the second the clause that we shall succeed is
used instead of the noun success. This clause is now
the subject of the sentence.
19. The following sentences will illustrate the use
of the noun clause :
How he succeeds is still a mystery. (Noun clause
as subject.)
Tell me what you intend to do. (Noun clause as
object of the verb tell.)
I am sincere in what I profess. (Noun clause as
object of the preposition in.)
Dreams are not what they seem. (Noun clause as
predicate of the subject dreams.)
The belief, that the boy was dead, prevailed. (Noun
clause in apposition with belief.)
20. There are three kinds of clauses, the noun
clause, the adjective clause and the adverbial clause.
21. The complex sentence always contains a prin-
cipal clause and one or more subordinate clauses.
COMPOUND SENTENCES.
22. The compound sentence must have at least two
principal statements which, when standing alone, would
make complete simple sentences. Thus :
The wind blew and the rain fell.
Either of the two clauses, The wind blew or the rain
fell, would make complete sense when standing alone.
23. Such clauses are called coordinate clauses and
are connected by coordinate conjunctions, either ex-
pressed or understood.
24. The parts of compound sentence-, connected by
coordinate conjunctions are called members.
25. The members of a compound sentence may be
all like simple sentences, all like complex sentences or
part like simple and part like complex sentences. Thus :
We are born into life — it is sweet, it is strange !
We lie on the knee of wild mystery, which smiles
with a change.
26. The simple grammatical subject of a sentence,
either simple, complex or comoound, is a noun or an
equivalent, unmodified. As subject of a sentence there
are several equivalents for the noun ; as,
The car has arrived. Car is a noun.
We are going. We is a pronoun.
Some are honest. Some is an adjective.
To labor is worthy. To labor is an infinitive phrase.
That he was kind is admitted. That h ■ was kind is
a clause.
27. To parse a noun, state class, person, number,
gender, case and reason for case.
28. A noun or pronoun used as the subject of a finite
verb is in the nominative case.
29. In parsing an adjective, a phrase or a clause
used as a subject, simply state that it is used as a noun
and is the subject.
30. The subject may be modified in various ways; as,
The wild waves beat upon the shore. (Adjective.)
The hum of bees was heard. (Prepositional phrase.)
36
OUR ENGLISH SPEECH.
Henry's father came home. (Noun in the possessive
case.)
My ball is lost. (Pronoun in possessive case.)
Longfellow, the author, wrote poems. (Noun in appo-
sition.)
A desire to know brings knowledge. (Verb in the
infinitive mood.)
Broken are the ties that bound us. (Clause.)
The barking dog never bites. (Participle.)
31. All words, phrases or clauses used to modify the
subject of a sentence have the force of adjectives.
THE PREDICATE.
32. The verb is the part of speech used in making
an assertion, and so must be contained in the predicate
of a sentence.
33. The predicate of a simple sentence may be:
A verb ; as, The bee works.
A verb and its complement ; as, The boys love him.
34. The complement of a verb is that which com-
pletes its meaning.
35. Verbs of incomplete predication require a com-
plement.
36. The complement of a transitive verb may be :
a. The man may reach home. Home is a noun.
b. The boys love him. Him is a pronoun.
c. He loves walking on the green. Walking on the
green is a phrase.
d. He sees where you have gone. Where you have
gone is a clause.
37. The complement of an intransitive verb may be :
a. That man is governor. Governor is a noun. "
b. It was she. She is a pronoun.
c. The crystal spar is brilliant. Brilliant is an adjec-
tive.
d. The room seems to gather dampness. To gather
dampness is a phrase.
e. The hat seems what I want. What I want is a
clause.
f. I am here. Here is an adverb.
38. The predicate of a sentence may be modified by :
An adverb; The rain fell slowly.
An adverbial phrase; The rain fell on the roof. He
tried to win.
A clause ; Walk where the road is dry. The boy
studies that he may succeed.
39. It must be keot in mind that the sentence has
two distinct parts: The subject element and the predi-
cate element.
40. It will be observed that the modifiers of the
subject elements are of the nature of adjectives, and
are called adjective elements; while those of the predi-
cate are called adverbial elements.
This division of the sentence will aid in under-
standing complicated sentences.
THE FORMS OF THE SENTENCES.
41. The declarative sentence is the most direct form
of statement. It declares or asserts something as a
fact ; as,
The Lambs play.
The happy lambs play on the hill side.
When the lambs play on the hill side they are happy.
The lambs play on the hill side, and the sheep feed
in the vale below.
All of the above sentences are declarative, because
they state facts.
INTERROGATIVE SENTENCES.
42. The modes of thought are not always for telling,,
declaring or asserting. The mode may be for question-
ing, ordering or exclaiming.
We will observe that the following sentences,
Who leads his class?
Have those men a soul ?
do not assert, but, 011 the contrary, they make inquiries ;
they are questions.
When the- mode of thought makes a sentence that
asks a question it is called an interrogative sentence.
A sentence that asks a question is called an Inter-
rogative Sentence.
43. The simple subject of the interrogative sen-
tence often follows the predicate verb. Thus,
Is Henry your son? Henry is your son.
Know you the law? You know the law.
Observe the difference in the order when the sen-
tences are changed to the declarative form.
44. The predicate of an interrogative sentence is
often a verb phrase commencing with do, does, did.
In this case the subject comes between the two parts
of the verb phrase. Thus,
Do you blame the child?
Does the boy go to school ?
Did they find the book?
45. Interrogative sentences often begin with the pro-
nouns who, whose, whom, which and what.
Who is reading? Which one is gone?
Whom did you see? What pleases you?
Pronouns thus used are called interrogative pro-
nouns.
The interrogative sentence may be simple, complex
or compound. Thus,
Did it ever seem possible that we should meet with
poverty?
Did you see that the man was frightened, and that
the boy was not ?
IMPERATIVE SENTENCES.
46. Each of the following groups of words expresses
a command :
Open the window. Pass the apples to John, please.
We observe the following peculiarities in these ex-
pressions :
1. There is a verb in each: open, pass.
2. No subject is stated, yet the speaker must have
had some one in mind, namely, the person to whom
he was speaking.
47. The subject may be expressed by prefixing to*
the verb the pronoun you. Thus :
[You] open the window. [You] pass the apples to
John, please.
These expressions are peculiar kinds of sentences,
with predicate expressed and the subject you under-
stood.
These sentences are directly addressed to someone,
and express either a command or a request.
Such sentences are called imperative sentences.
An Imperative Sentence expresses a command or
a request. The subject is usually omitted, but when
expressed it is either thou or you.
EXCLAMATORY SENTENCES.
48. A sentence of any form may be uttered as a
kind of a cry expressing some strong emotion. Thus :
He lives! What do you say? Stay here!
These sentences are called exclamatory sentences, yet
they are of different kinds. The first is declarative;
the second, interrogative ; the third, imperative.
ENGLISH COMPOSITION.
37
_ Exclamations are expressed in the following pecu-
liar sentences :
What a smart boy ! How quickly the flower fades !
While these sentences do exclaim, they are essentially
declarative sentences.
49. Any sentence that expresses surprise, grief,
or any strong emotion in the form of an exclama-
tion may be called an exclamatory sentence.
50. The exclamation is denoted by the exclama-
tion point (!) terminating the sentence, if it is declara-
tive or imperative.
FORM OF ANALYSIS.
51. In analyzing a simple sentence the following
order may be observed :
(1) Carefully read the sentence; (2) divide the
sentence into the complete subject and the complete
predicate; (3) mention the simple subject and the
simple predicate; (4) mention and describe each of
the modifiers of the subject and of the predicate;
(5) mention the complementary elements, and state
whether they are predicate nominative, predicate ad-
jective, or object; (6) finally, point out as inde-
pendent elements all the interjections and vocatives.
52. In analyzing a compound sentence : ( 1 ) divide
the sentence into its clauses, and point out the con-
junctions that connect them; (2) analyze each clause
as if it were a simple sentence.
53. In analyzing a complex sentence: (1) divide
the sentence into its clauses; (2) point out the principal
clause and the subordinate clauses ; (3) analyze the
principal clause, mentioning the subordinate clauses
in their proper places as modifiers or as substantives ;
(4) analyze the subordinate clause.
54. If the sentence is compound, with complex mem-
bers, analyze each complex member as a complex
sentence.
FORMS OF DISCOURSE.
55. Prose and poetry are the two general divisions
of discourse.
56. Poetry is a metrical form of discourse, of which
there are many varieties. The divisions of discourse
written in poetry are the canto, the stanza, the verse,
and the sentence.
57. The forms of discourse are narration, descrip-
tion, exposition, argumentation and persuasion.
58. The divisions of discourse written in prose are
the chapter, the paragraph and the sentence.
59. The sentence in poetry is the same as it is in
prose, excepting that it is frequently transposed and
is usually more involved.
" 60. The paragraph is a division in prose discourse
next longer than the sentence. It corresponds to the
stanza in poetry.
61. Every long discourse is divided into paragraphs.
62. A paragraph has unity.
A paragraph may be composed of one or several
sentences.
Usually a short discourse of less than one page is
written in one paragraph.
Style in Composition. — Every one, in writing or
speaking, makes sentences, but these sentences may
be neat or they may be clumsy — pleasant to hear or
read, dull and heavy. The manner in which we put our
sentences together is called style. That style may be
good or bad, feeble or vigorous, clear or obscure. It
is by study of style that we are enabled to give clear,
forcible and graceful expression to our thoughts. Three
important elements enter into good composition:
1. Clear thinking.
2. Reading the best writers.
3. Frequent practise in writing, and the careful cor-
recting and polishing of what is written.
But though reading and practise are the chief means
of acquiring a good style, there are many excellent gen-
eral and special directions which will prove helpful to
beginners. We submit a few which Professor Meikel-
john has prepared and used in his work on the English
Language : —
The Subject. — "We must know the subject fully
about which we are going to write. Draw upon a
piece of paper a short skeleton of what you are going
to write about. But such an outline should not be
allowed to fetter the writer, if, in the course of actual
composition, he finds any reason for deviating from his
original plan. Says Cobbett, 'Sit down to write what
you have thought, and not to think what you shall
write.' "
Pure English. — "Do not use obsolete or old-fashioned
words, such as erst, peradvcnture, holden, vouchsafe,
methinks, etc. Avoid slang expressions, such as
awfully, jolly, dandy, rot, bosh, smell a rat, see with
half an eye, etc. Avoid the use of foreign words and
phrase, such as confrere, raison-d'etre, amour propre,
conge, etc. As between words of the same meaning
of Latin and Saxon origin always choose the latter.
Get the right word in the right place. 'The veracity
of the statement was questioned.' Here veracity is not
the right word, as it applies to a person. The right
word is accuracy. A good way to acquire accurate
English is to make a collection of synonyms and care-
fully compare their meanings. A Roman writer says,
'Care should be taken, not that the reader may under-
stand if he will, but that he shall understand whether
he will or not.' Simplicity is a fine art in composition.
It teaches us to avoid too learned words, and roundabout
ways of mentioning persons and things. As an instance,
vituperation should not be used for abuse; nor com-
mence for begin; nor initiate for commence. 'Swan of
Avon' is a stale and- hackneyed phrase for Shakespeare,
and the 'Great Lexicographer,' for Dr. Johnson. Brevity
enjoins the need of expressing meaning in as few words
as possible. Pope says :
'Words are like leaves, and where they most abound,
Much fruit of sense beneath is seldom found.'
And Horace says :
'Seek not for words ; seek only for clear thought ;
And then the words will trooping come unsought.' "
Special Cautions. — "Avoid tautology. 'It was founded
on the entire monopoly of the whole trade.' In this
sentence both entire and whole are unnecessary, for
monopoly means entire possession, or possession of the
whole.
"Place the adverb as near the word it modifies as you
can. 'He not only found her employed but pleased.'
In this sentence not only belongs to employed, and
should be placed immediately before it.
"Avoid circumlocution. 'The Queen, on reaching
Perth, partook of breakfast,' should be writen, 'On
reaching Perth, the Queen breakfasted.'
"Use of such words of exaggeration as unprecedented,
most extraordinary, incalculable, awfully, stupendous,
etc., should be avoided unless we know they are both
true and appropriate. Be careful about the right posi-
tion of each phrase or clause in your sentence. It was
neglect of this caution that led the old lady to write
her advertisement as follows: 'A piano for sale by a
lady about to cross the Channel in an oak case with
carved legs.' "
PUNCTUATION OF ENGLISH.
A very important matter in the making, writing and printing of sentences is punctua-
tion. By this is meant the use of certain signs or points, now generally agreed upon, which
serve to mark off the different parts of sentences, and to show the relation of each part to
the entire sentence. Punctuation, as usually understood, is performed with four signs or
points: the period, colon, semicolon and comma. But many other points, as seen below,
are used in writing and printing, partly rhetorical and partly grammatical, which are con-
venient, and with whose form and use every writer and printer should be familiar. It was
not until the sixteenth century that an approach was made to the present form of punctua-
tion by the Manutii of Venice. With the famous Caxton printers, oblique strokes took the
place of commas and periods. While now the form of punctuation marks are quite well
agreed upon, their force in actual usage remains somewhat defiant of rule; but the following
observations are based on a pretty generally accepted concensus.
. — The Period, or full stop, marks the close of a
sentence; as, "This is the period of my ambition." It
is also used to mark the end of an abbreviated word ;
as, inst. for instant; prox. for next; Shak. for Shake-
speare.
: — Colon means limb or member. It is the point or
character used to separate parts of a sentence that are
complete in themselves and nearly independent; thus,
it serves to introduce a new statement that may be
regarded as an afterthought; as, "Study to acquire a
habit of accurate expression: no study is more im-
portant." It is also used to introduce a catalogue of
things ; as, "Then follow excellent parables about fame :
as that she gathereth," etc. Further, it introduces a
formal speech ; as, Mr. White rose and said : "Sir, I
am sorry," etc. It often takes the place of a conjunc-
tion. It is gradually falling into disuse.
; — Semicolon is half a colon. It is the mark em-
ployed when, for reasons of sound or sense, two or
more simple sentences are thrown into one; or, it indi-
cates a separation between parts or members of a sen-
tence more distinct than that marked by a comma; as,
"In the youth of a state, arms do flourish ; in the
middle age of a state, learning; in the declining age
of a state, mechanical arts and merchandise." — Bacon.
, — Comma means clause. It is used to indicate a
strong pause either of sense or sound, and it marks
the smallest division of a sentence, written or printed.
Besides its natural function, it serves several special
purposes : —
(a) It may be used in place of and: —
"We first endure, then pity, then embrace."
(fc) After an address: — "John, come here."
(<r) After certain introductory adverbs; as, liow-
ever, at length, at last, etc.
"He came, however, in time to catch the train."
General Rule. — Every writer should bear in mind that
it is better to under-punctuate than to over-punctuate.
This is especially so when it comes to the use of the
comma. The old-fashioned style of punctuating the
following sentence was : "There are many pauses,
which we ought to make, in reading a sentence aloud,
that are not really strong enough to warrant a comma."
Such a profuse use of commas is not at all necessary.
The sentence should be written or printed thus : "There
are many pauses which we ought to make in reading
a sentence aloud that are not nearly strong enough to
warrant a comma."
Dash is a mark or line in punctuation denoting
a sudden break, stop or transition in a sentence, or
an abrupt change in its construction, a long or signifi-
cant pause, or an unexpected epigrammatic turn of sen-
timent. It introduces an amplification or explanation ;
and two dashes are now commonly employed in place
of the old parentheses :
(a) "During the voyage a storm came on — such a
storm as we had never seen before."
(b) "Ribbons, buckles, buttons — any trifle he had
worn — were stored as priceless treasures."
? — Interrogation is inquiry, the act of questioning.
The interrogation point, mark or sign, indicates that
the sentence with which it is connected is a question.
Its place is at the end of the question. It is also used
to express a doubt, or to mark a query. It is said to
have been formed from the first and last letters of the
Latin quaestio, question, placed one over the other;
thus, §
! — Exclamation, called also the point of admiration,
is the mark or sign employed to denote outcry, em-
phatic utterance, expression of surprise or wonder. It
is gradually falling into disuse. It is said to have been
formed from the Latin word lo, joy, written vertically;
thus, o
( ) — Parentheses means to put in beside. It is
applied to the word, phrase or sentence, by way of
comment or explanation, inserted in, or attached to,
a sentence which would be grammatically complete with-
out it. It is usually enclosed in curved lines ( ), each
of which is a parenthesis ; both, parentheses. Dashes are
fast taking the place of parentheses.
[ ] — Brackets or Crotchets are characters used in
writing and printing to inclose a reference, explana-
tion or note, or a part to be excluded from a sentence,
to indicate an interpolation, rectify a mistake, supply
(38)
PUNCTUATIOX OF ENGLISH.
39
an omission, and for other kindred purposes. The sign
is often confused with that of the parenthesis.
' — Apostrophe means the turning away or omitting of
a letter. If called be contracted into call'd, or never
into ne'er, the place of the omitted letter is supplied
by an apostrophe, or apostrophic comma. It is also a
sign of the possessive case, as a boy's hat. In this use
it originally marked the omission of the letter e. It
finds frequent use in designating the plural of figures
and letters ; as, two Cj's and four d's. Again, it is
used in single or double form to indicate a quotation.
Hyphen means into one, or together. It is a
short dash used to connect the parts of compound words,
as in clear-headed : also at the end of written or printed
lines when part of a word is carried to the next line ;
again, to separate the syllables of words used in spell-
ing exercises ; as, cx'cel-lcnt.
r — Acute accent. Acute means sharp, high, shrill.
Accent, in its secondary sense, is the mark or character
used in writing which serves to regulate the pronuncia-
tion, as ac'cent. There are primary and secondary ac-
cents, as in" ad-mis' sible. Here the primary, or heaviest,
accent is on mis. Accent is also the mark used to in-
dicate the quality of sound of the vowel marked.
-v — Grave accent. Grave or low accent is the op-
posite of acute, both in significance and direction of
slope. It implies the level tone, or even the negation
of accent. It is used mostly to indicate the quality of
sound of the vowel marked.
^ — Broad or circumflex accent marks a long and
contracted syllable. This is Latin usage. It may be
marked either v or -~- over the letter or syllable
affected.
~ or "~" — Circumflex or Tilde, in its Greek signifi-
cance, indicated a tone raised and then lowered. In
Spanish, when placed over an n or / ( «7 ) it indicates
that the following vowel must be sounded as if pre-
ceded by y.
— — Long accent, or Macron (long) is the short,
straight, horizontal mark placed over vowels to denote
that they have the long sound; as, dame, seam, pre,
home, miile.
v or \j — Short accent or Breve. A curved or
angular mark commonly used to indicate the short qual-
ity of a vowel — limber, d/t, striick.
•• — Diaeresis, placed over the second of two adjacent
vowels, shows that they are to be sounded separately;
as, cooperate, aerial.
' — Cedilla means the letter zeta (Z) in Greek. It
was formerly written after the letter c to give it the
sound of j. Then it came to be written under the c
(<;) for the same purpose, but it soon began to lose
its form and became a mere arbitrary sign, retaining,
however, its original significance, as in facade.
^ — Caret means "there is something wanting." It
is a mark used by writers and proofreaders to indicate
that something is interlined above, or is inserted in
the margin, which belongs in the place marked by
the caret.
" " — Quotation marks consist of two inverted com-
mas placed at the beginning, and two direct commas
at the end, of a passage quoted from an author in his
own words. Some writers, when they quote an author,
but not in exact words, use but one comma at either
end, or a half quotation.
| — Brace means arms stretched out. It is the
vertical curved line used to signify that two or more
words or lines are to be taken together; thus,
bolt 1
bowl /
* * *— Ellipsis signifies a leaving out, defect, omis-
sion. Ellipsis is really a figure in syntax implying the
omission of one or more words from a sentence, which
are obviously understood ; thus, the virtue I admire,
for, the virtue which I admire. Of course the sign
* * * is not used here, but it comes into use to
signify an omission of an unimportant part of a quota-
tion.
• • — Leaders serve to carry the eye across the pages
of indexes, tables, contents, etc. ; thus,
Needle-gun invented 1856
They are also used as signs of ellipses.
* — Asterisk means a little star. It is used in print-
ing or writing as a reference to a passage or note in
the margin or at the bottom of a page, and also to sup-
ply the omission of letters or words. It is the first
used of the reference marks.
t — Dagger, or obelisk, is so called from its resem-
blance to a dagger, or, inverted obelisk. It is a mark
of reference to a note in the margin or at the bottom
of the page, and is the second mark used when more
than one are used on a page.
t — Double dagger is the third reference mark used
when there are more than two used on a page.
§ — Section mark is the character often used to de-
note a division of a writing or subdivision of a chapter ;
a paragraph. It is said by some to have been formed
from the initial letters (ff) of the Latin words signum
sectionis, meaning sign of the section ; but others say
it is a modification of the Greek P, initial of Paragra-
phos, paragraph.
|| — Parallels. This character, consisting of two par-
allel vertical lines, is used in writing and printing to
call attention to a similarly marked note in the margin
or at the foot of the page.
H — Paragraph is the sign which notes the division
of a writing into distinct parts, sections or subdivisions.
The writer can avoid the use of the sign by beginning
the first sentence of the paragraph on a new line and
at more than the usual distance from the left-hand
margin. It is but a modification of the Greek P. initial
of Paragraphos, paragraph.
**" — Index, or pointer, is the sign used to direct
particular attention to a note or paragraph. It is
sometimes called a fist.
*»* or »*» — Asterism is the Greek word asterismos,
a cluster of stars. Like the asterisk, or single *, it is
used as a sign to direct attention to a passage, espe-
cially when such attention is deemed very particular.
WRONG USES OF WORDS AND
EXPRESSIONS.
Abbreviate is often used in the place of abridge; the
former has the sense of curtailing, the latter of con-
densing. We do not abbreviate a dictionary or
sermon, but abridge it.
Accept of; the of is superfluous. One accepts a thing;
not accepts of a thing.
Acoustics, like many other scientific terms, is of plural
form, but is used in the singular; as, acoustics is
the science which treats of sound.
Adjective and adverb. When, in a sentence, the wish
is to express a quality of the subject, the adjective
should be used, however closely it may be situated as
to the verb; on the contrary, if the wish is to express
some quality of the action of the verb, the adverb
should be used.
Admit, admit of. The first (admit) permits one to
enter, as into a theatre; the second (admit of) implies
capability; as, "Both Houses declared they could
admit of no treaty with the King."
Advent should be used only in connection with some
important or sacred event, as "the advent of Christ."
We do not say advent of a circus, but arrival (com-
ing) of.
A few, few. The first expression is correct, for few
is used collectively, like a hundred. But when we
say, "A few soldiers deserted," we mean some ap-
preciable number; that is, a number larger than is
meant when we say, "Few soldiers deserted."
Aggravate is only used in a colloquial sense to mean
exasperate, provoke, irritate, as of a person. Its
proper use. is in the sense of to make worse or more
severe, as of a disease or evil. "To aggravate my
woes." "To aggravate the disease." "To aggravate
the horrors of the scene."
Ain't is used as a contraction for am not, are not and
is not, but only in colloquial or illiterate speech.
Neither grammar nor elegance supports its use.
All of. The of is superfluous. "I paid all my debts;"
not all of my debts. "I saw all the sights ;" not all
of the sights.
Allow. In certain localities allow is warped into such
uses (all inadmissible) as, "he allowed (thought) he
was right;" "he allowed (intended) to pay it;" "he
allowed (said) you were wrong."
Allude means to refer to something indirectly or by
suggestion. It should, therefore, be carefully dis-
tinguished from the meaning implied by mention or
speak of.
Always, ever. The former is preferable in prose, the
latter in poetry; as, "He always rides a black horse."
"He shall ever love."
Amid, amidst. These words mean the same and are
used indiscriminately, the latter being preferred in
poetry.
Among one another is awkward and inexact. "They
fought among one another" should read "They fought
among themselves," or "with each other."
Another from. "John is another style of man from
James." Here from should be than.
Any manner of means. Omit the superfluous central
words, and say, "Not by any means."
Are'nt is a familiar contraction for are not, when the
subject immediately follows; as, "are'nt you going?"
"Are'nt they thirsty?"
Article. The definite article should be placed be-
fore a present participle used as a noun; as, "The
killing of John was murder." It should precede each
of two subjects connected by and, when said sub-
jects represent different persons or things. If we
. say "the doctor and minister called," the meaning
might be that the doctor and minister were the
same person. If we say, "the doctor and the minister
called, they were clearly different persons.
At, in. When a simple point, as of arrival, is meant,
use at; when a larger sphere is meant use in; when
residence is implied use in. "He arrived at Washing-
ton." "He arrived in America." "He lives in Wash-
ington." Beware of that superfluous use of at. com-
mon in such expressions as, "Where am I at?"
'Where is it at?" "Where am I?" and "Where is
it?" are enough.
Avocation. Distinguish between avocation and vo-
cation. The latter is one's regular pursuit or calling;
the former is that which calls one away from his
regular pursuit. But this distinction seems to be
obliterated when the words are used in the plural.
Awful, awfully. Slangy and inexcusable expressions
for very or exceedingly.
Aye. Pronounce it as / when you mean yea or yes;
pronounce it as A when you mean ever or always.
Back. Omit back in returned back. Returned is
enough, since it includes back.
Backward, backwards. Used quite indiscriminately;
but a good rule to adopt would be to use backward
as an adjective and backwards as an adverb. "A
backward girl ;" "he fell backivards."
Bad should keep its place in the language as the op-
posite of good ; as bad health, bad crop. Not a bad
pain, bad wound, but a severe pain, dangerous wound.
Badly is a word much misapplied when used intensely
in the sense of very, very much or greatly. "I wish to
see you badly." should be "I wish to see you much, or
very much."
Banister is a frequent conversational error for baluster
or balustrade.
Be. Do not forget that the verb to be calls for the
same case after it as before it. "It is me," "it is
him," "it is her," should be "it is I," "it is he," "it
is she."
(40)
WRONG USES OF WORDS AND EXPRESSIONS.
41
Beastly. Do not affect the distorted English use of
this word, as in "beastly cold," "beastly hot," "beastly
sick," etc.
Because why. The why is sufficient.
Beginner. The phrase "A new beginner" is in frequent
use. No call here for new. It is implied in be-
ginner.
Beside, besides. Two words much abused in usage. "I
sat beside him ;" that is, by the side of him. "There
were three besides him ;" that is, in addition to him.
Better. Wrongly used for more; as in, "It is better
than an hour since I saw him."
Big. Much abused when used in the sense of great. A
big man may not be great. A great man may not be
big.
Blame on. "I do not lay the blame upon you ;" or,
"I do not blame you for your faults." On would not
be proper in either of the foregoing sentences.
Both, used as an adjective or pronoun, implies two;
but as a conjunction it may have a more extended
meaning; as in, "The flood destroyed all his stock —
both horses, cattle and fowls."
Bring, carry. Bring means to convey (fetch) to a
place where the speaker is or is to be. Carry means
to convey or transport in any manner from one place
to another.
By should be carefully distinguished from with, the
former being proper before an agent or doer, the
latter before an instrument or means. "John was
struck by James." "John was struck with a brick."
Calculate. "I calculate to go" is often, but wrongly,
used for "I intend to go." It is similarly misused for
think, believe, suppose.
Caligraphy. Don't say beautiful or fine caligraphy,
but beautiful or fine writing. Caligraphy means
beautiful or fine writing.
Clergy. A collective noun improperly used when in-
dividuals are meant. "Four clergymen graced the
pulpit," not four clergy.
Compare. We compare one thing with another to find
the points of agreement or difference. We compare
one thing to another only when we know a re-
semblance exists.
Completion. The expression final completion is often
heard. Omit final, for it is implied in completion.
Condign means deserved. He deserves condign
punishment" should be "He deserves severe punish-
ment."
Contemptibly. Distinguish carefully between con-
temptibly and contemptuously. To speak contemptibly
is not necessarily to speak contemptuously.
Corporal. Distinguish between corporal and corporeal.
Corporal means bodily as opposed to mental;
corporeal means material as opposed to spiritual.
Damage. It is common to say "What is the damage?"
when "What is the cost or expense?" is meant.
Demean signifies to behave or conduct (oneself). It
should not, therefore, be used for degrade, debase
or disgrace.
Depositary. Distinguish between depositary and de-
pository. Depositary is the person with whom a thing
is deposited ; depository is the place where.
Differ from is preferable to differ with in all cases
where the sense is "to be different from."
Directly. "Directly he fell he cried." Here "directly"
is not a good substitute for "as soon as."
Discommode is fast going out of fashion, and is being
substituted by incommode.
Disremember is no longer in literary use, though it
still persists colloquially in certain sections.
Divers. Distinguish between divers and diverse. "Men
of divers views" means men of sundry or various views.
"Men of diverse views" means men of opposite or
conflicting views.
Don't. A common colloquial of do not. It should be
distinguished from the contraction of does not, which
is doesn't.
Each, every. Their use is that of a singular. "Each
man is." "Every man is."
Effect. Distinguish it from affect. Effect is to actually
bring something about. Affect is simply to exercise
an influence on.
Elder, eldest. Are properly limited to persons, and
even to members of the same family. Older and
oldest may be said of either persons or things.
Elegant. A much-abused word. It refers to some-
thing exquisite or refined, as to dress. But we must
not say "an elegant time," "an elegant tree," "an
elegant ride."
Else must be left out of all such expressions as "There
was no one else but him."
Emigrant. Distinguish between emigrant and immi-
grant both in meaning and spelling. An emigrant
is one who goes out from a country ; an immigrant
is one who comes into a country.
Enthuse. A common expression, little removed from
a vulgarism.
Epithet. This adjectival word is properly applied to
any person or thing; as, "a just man;" "a verdant
lawn." But the tendency is to lower it irt meaning
by applying it only in a vilifying or traducent sense.
Equally as. Do not say "equally as well," "equally as
good." Leave out the as.
Equanimity. Do not say "equanimity of mind," but
simply equanimity, because the word is composed of
two Latin words which mean "evenness of mind."
Exodus. Not to be used in the sense of departure,
unless the going out is by a number of people, as
of the Israelites from Egypt.
Expect. Largely misused for think, believe, suppose.
Fault. At fault is said of one who blunders or mis-
takes. In fault means that one has done something
blameworthy.
Fetch. If one says "fetch me the thing," he means "go
and bring me the thing." There is no propriety in
the expression "go and fetch."
First two. It is difficult to distinguish between the
proper use of first two and tivo first. Take the group
James, John, William, Samuel, Peter, Giles. In
speaking of James and John simply as the heads of
the group, we say, "The two first enlisted in the
army." But in speaking of James and John in com-
parison or connection with Peter and Giles, the last
of the group, we say, "The first tivo enlisted before
the last ftvo."
Firstly. Don't say firstly, secondly, thirdly, etc., but
first, secondly, thirdly, etc.
Fix is a fearfully distorted word, and with seemingly
little help for it. To fix the furniture or the books
had better be to arrange, etc. To fix in the sense of to
repair is in general use, even with the word up, as
"to fix up." But fix up, that is to dress; or fix one,
that is to do injury to one, should never be used.
For, to. Are redundant in such expressions as "It
costs more than you think for." "Where are you
going to?"
42
OUR ENGLISH SPEECH.
From. Distinguish between the use of from and of.
One dies of a disease, but from the effects of a disease.
Got is useless in such expressions as "The horse has
got four feet." Has is sufficient. But when a thing
is actually acquired or gotten, then got becomes
proper. "He has got (gotten, caught) the horse."
Have. Improperly inserted in such sentences as "Had
I have known it." Leave it out.
Had ought. "Had ought to know" should be simply
"ought to know." The verbs have and ought are
never properly used together.
Hain't. A vulgar contraction for have not and haven't.
Handy is properly something upon which the hand
can readily be laid. We do not say "The store is
handy, but 'near by,' 'close at hand.' "
He, she, her, him. See be.
How. Wrongfully used for what, when one is asked
to repeat what has not been understood.
However should not be used for but or notwithstand-
ing.
If. Often improperly used for whether. "Go and see
if John is sick," should be "Go and see whether John
is sick."
Illy. Ill is already an adverb and there is no need of
the final v.
In, into. Often confusedly used, but needlessly. In
implies place, position; into, direction, destination.
"The stone lies in the water; it was thrown into it."
Index, when pluralized as to mathematical signs, be-
comes indices; as to tables, indexes.
In so far as. So far as is all that is required.
Jewelry must not be said of individual gems, but of
gems in stock or store. "She wore jewels." "He sells
jewelry."
Kinder is frequently heard as a vulgar distortion of
kind of.
Kind of should not be followed by a. For, "What
kind of a horse is it?" say, "What kind of horse is
it?" Kind of has an accepted local use in such ex-
pressions as, "I am kind of sleepy," for "I am some-
what (a little) sleepy."
Kinsman is more definite than relative, relation or
connection, when the one spoken of is of the same
blood as the speaker.
Lady. Not "a man and a lady," but "a man and a
woman." Not "a man and his lady," but "a man
and his zvife."
Lay, lie. Should be carefully distinguished in all their
parts. Lay — to put down — is transitive ; lie — to rest —
is intransitive.
Learn. Often confused with taught. "The teacher
learned many scholars" should read, "The teacher
taught many scholars." The scholars did the learning.
Lengthways had better be lengthwise. So of sideways
and endways.
Like. Often used improperly for as. "Do as I do,"
not "Do like I do."
Lots. Often faultily used for a great many or much.
"He has lots of money."
Love, like. A man loves what appeals to his affection,
as his wife or child. He likes what pleases his taste,
as pie, meat, etc.
Lovely. Much abused as applied indiscriminately
to every agreeable object. It should be only in con-
nection with things which stir the affections.
Merely. Do not use merely when simply is meant.
"I was there merely (only) as a visitor." "It was
simply impossible to do it."
Middling makes a weak and absurd adverb. Better
use tolerably or fairly.
Mighty is often substituted for the milder word very,
but .not always with discretion. It is nonsense to
say "mighty weak," "mighty small."
Need. The infinitive sign to is not required after
need. "He need not to go," should be "He need not
go."
Neither requires its correlative nor, just as either re-
quires or. "Neither John nor James came."
Nice is overworked when used to express promiscuous
quality. Avoid such expressions as "nice tree," "nice
time," "nice rain," etc.
No how is a vulgar substitute for "in no way" or "by
no means."
None, composed of no and one, has been treated as a
singular, but its use as a plural is quite proper.
Nor, or. "He has no gold or silver." Here gold and
silver are equivalents; that is, they are money. "He
has no land nor niorals." Here land and morals are
not equivalents, and nor becomes proper.
Nothing like. Often mistakingly used for not nearly.
"He was nothing like as tall as his brother," should
be "He was not nearly as tall as his brother."
No use requires the preposition of before it. "It was
no use to talk," should be "It was of no use to talk."
O, oh. O expresses appeal or desire ; as, O Lord !
O for a rest ! Oh is simply an exclamation or ex-
pression of surprise ; as, "Oh, the house is on fire !"
Of. "The love of God" leaves the exact meaning in
doubt. Better make it clear by some other form of
expression.
Of any. For "finest of any," say "finest of all," or
"finer than any other."
Of, off. Distinguish between of and off. One is a
preposition, the other an adverb.
Only. It is impossible to picture the shades of mean-
ings imparted by the use of only. The rule is to
put it as near to the word you wish it to affect as
possible.
Onto, as a single word, is rapidly taking the place of
on to, its separate parts, just as into long since took
the place of in to.
People should be used only when a large number of
persons is meant; as, "A crowd of people;" "Only
three' persons (not people) came to tea."
Per day. "John worked for so much per day, per
month, per year." Substitute a for per.
Phenomenon. Distinguish carefully between phenom-
enon and its plural, phenomena.
Place is often wrongfully made to do the work of
where. "I can't find it any place" should be "I can't
find it anywhere."
Post. "He is well posted" is by no means as desirable
as "He is well informed."
Preventative is not a good English word, yet it is
frequently used for preventive, which is the real word.
Previous. "The previous year," but "previously to."
Distinguish between the adjective and adverb.
Programme. Program is now the proper spelling.
Proposal. Distinguish carefully between proposal and
proposition. "He rejected the proposal." "He demon-
strated the proposition."
WRONG USES OF WORDS AND EXPRESSIONS.
43
Propose. Often used incorrectly for intend or purpose.
"I propose to go," should be "I intend (purpose) to
go."
Providing. Often mistakingly used for provided. "I
will go provided (not providing) I am well."
Quickly. Often used when soon is intended. To do
a thing quickly is to do it with speed. To do a thing
soon is to begin it without delay.
Raise. Distinguish between raise and rise. The former
is transitive and requires an object, the latter is in-
transitive and requires no object. "I rise early." "I
raise my head." Do not use raise in the sense of
rear, as of children.
Rather. Say rather warm, not rather warmish. Rather
is superfluous before adjectives ending in isli.
Reside. "Where does he live?" is better than "Where
does he reside?" To reside implies a residence of
some permanence or- pretensions, but one may live
anywhere.
Reverend. Use The before Reverend. As, "The
Reverend (or Rev.) Mr. Buckley."
Saw, seen. "I seen him yesterday," should be "I saw
him yesterday." Saw is the past tense of sec; seen
is the past participle.
Says I. Frequently but improperly used for said I.
Scarcely. Distinguish between scarcely and hardly.
"He can hardly see." "It is scarcely an hour since I
saw him."
Seldom or ever is an erroneous use of seldom if ever,
or seldom or never.
Shall, will. Distinguish between shall and will. In
the forms "I shall go," "thou wilt go," "he ivill go,"
futurity is implied. In the forms "I will go," "thou
shall go," "he shall go," determination is implied.
Sight. Improperly used for a great number or quantity.
"A great number (not a sight) of people." "Much
(not a sight of) gold."
Since, ago. "Not long since" implies a time but lately
past. "Not long ago" implies past time in general.
Some. Often wrongly used for somewhat, as in "I
am some tired."
Splendid. Its use should be limited to things implying
splendor. It is out of place in "A splendid dinner,"
"A splendid rock," etc.
Stop. Often improperly used for stay. "I shall stop
at Lancaster." "How long will you stay (not stop) ?"
Such another. Wrongly used for another such.
Sure. Often wrongly used for its adverb surely; as in
"He's going sure," for "He's surely going."
Take up. Do not say, "When does school take up?"
but "When does school begin?"
That. Distinguish between who and that. Who refers
only to persons, as "The man who." That refers to
both persons and things, as "The man that," "The
house that."
Transpire. Is a common but faulty use of occur or
happen.
Unbeknown. Unknown is the proper word to use.
Upon. Often used for on. "He called upon me" should
be "He called on me."
Venal. Distinguish between venal and venial. The
former means corrupt, mercenary. The latter implies
something that may be overlooked or pardoned, as
"A venial fault."
Ways. "It is a long ways home," should be "It is a
long way home."
Went. Often mistakingly used for gone, in connection
with have. "I have went there," instead of "I have
gone there."
Where. Never end a sentence beginning with where
with the preposition to or at. It is wrong to say
"Where has he gone to?" for "Where has he gone?"
or, "Where was I at?" for "Where was I ?"
Who. Often but improperly used for whom, as "Who
do you wish?" for "Whom do you wish."
You and I. "You and / will take a walk" is correct;
but "This will not do for you and I," should be "This
will not do for you and me."
WORD ABBREVIATIONS.
In a rapid age the custom grows to cut short, or abbreviate, words both in writing and

THE SPELLINGS OF ENGLISH WORDS.
Not until the invention of printing did English spelling begin to assume the importance
which was its due. It then, unfortunately for the language, fell largely into the hands of
printers who consulted their own whims and tastes rather than those structural principles
which underlie rational orthography. It was inevitable that incorrect and confused spelling
should result. Says an eminent writer, "The spelling of the masterpieces of Elizabethan
literature is a marvel of typographic incompetency and orthographic recklessness."
The folly of such conditions, seconded by the criticism which fell upon the printing class,
led to reaction, and by the beginning of the eighteenth century printers themselves began to
make concerted efforts toward more uniform spelling. They succeeded in setting up a few
uniform spelling standards, but inasmuch as they knew little of the principles of adjusting
spelling to pronunciation, their work was, in general, that upon the surface, "arbitrary, me-
chanical and unscientific." When English dictionaries began to come into vogue their
makers accepted, to a very large extent, the spelling standards of the printers, and thus perpetu-
ated the existing orthographic crudities and inconsistencies. Dr. Samuel Johnson, in his dic-
tionary, published in 1755, projected a system of spelling which, he claimed, would help
to fix the external form of the language, but his failure to fit, his practise to his theory
showed how hard a problem he had undertaken to solve. Many subsequent attempts have
been made to reduce the spelling of words to a uniform system. The most frequent and
strongest of these have been made by associations of learned men in both England and
America. The modern dictionaries of both countries are ably seconding the work of the asso-
ciations, and exercising a wholesome influence on uniformity and simplicity of spelling. Dr.
Noah Webster's dictionary, published in 1828, was the first in America to exercise marked
orthographic influence here. Subsequent editions of his work continued to improve his sys-
tem, though with caution and conservatism. The rules for spelling certain classes of words
as found below are, in great part, those found in the latest edition of the Webster, known as
the International Dictionary.
SPELLING RULES. seldom doubled ; as in ail, peat, haul, door, maim. Guess

THE SPELLINGS OF ENGLISH WORDS.
73
Rule VIII. — When one word is derived from another
ending in a consonant preceded by a vowel, the same
being a monosyllable or word accented on the last
syllable, the final consonant is doubled ; as, clan, clan-
nish; plan, planning; bag, bag'gage; hot, hot'ter,
hot'test; squat, squat 'ter. Gas, gaseous is an exception.
Other exceptions are found in derivatives in which the
accent of the primitive word is thrown back a syllable;
as, prefer' , preference ; defer' , deference.
Rule IX. — But when a diphthong precedes the final
consonant of a word, or the accent falls on other than
the last syllable, or the ending be in two different con-
sonants, the final consonant is not doubled in deriva-
tives formed by the addition of a termination beginning
with a vowel ; as, daub, daub ' er; brief , briefer; rev el,
reveler; travel, traveler; perform' , performer. There
are a few exceptions, like humbug, humbugged. The
derivatives of kidnap are spelled with either a single or
double p. There is much diversity of opinion and usage
among lexicographers as to the spellings under Rule
IX.
Rule X. — Derivatives from words ending in a double
consonant, by adding one or more syllables, generally
retain both consonants; as, ebb, ebbing; stiff, stiffness;
skill, skillful; full, fullness. An exception is pontiff,
pontificial. In words like ill, illy, one / is dropped out
to save repeating it three times; when the termination
is less, the three I's may be retained with the use of a
hyphen; as, skill-less; or the hyphen and one / may be
omitted; as, skilless.
Rule XL— When derivatives are formed from words
ending in e silent, the e is mostly retained if the termi-
nation begins with a consonant; as, fale, paleness; hate,
hateful; move, movement. But when the e is preceded
by a vowel other than itself it is often dropped from
the derivative ; as, due, duly; awe, azvful. There are
many exceptions to this rule ; as, wholly, wisdom, judg-
ment, etc.
Rule XII. — When words ending in e silent go to
form derivatives beginning with a vowel, the e is
generally omitted ; as, bride, bridal; plume, plumage;
force, forcible. But for reasons of pronunciation the
e is retained in hoeing, shoeing, dyeing, peaceable,
changeable, outrageous, saleable, and a list of like words.
Many lexicographers dispute the second part of this
rule and spell according to the first part.
Rule XIII. — When words ending in •* go to form
derivatives ending in ing, the e is usually dropped and
the i changed into y; as, die, dying; lie, lying; tie, tying.
Rule XIV. — Words ending in y preceded by a con-
sonant form derivatives by changing the y into i, except
when the part added begins with » or y; as, pity, pitiful;
icy, iciest; mercy, merciless. But adjectives of one
syllable are exceptions ; as, dry, dryly; shy, shyness;
sly, slyest; but dry, driest is common, when the deriva-
tive is formed by adding the termination ship, the y is
generally retained; as, lady, ladyship; surety, surety-
ship.
Rule XV. — Derivatives formed by adding a termina-
tion to words ending in y preceded by a vowel general-
ly retain the y; as, play, player; obey, obeying; buy,
buying. Exceptions are : day, daily; lay, laid; pay, paid;
say, said; stay, staid.
Rule XVI. — Derivatives formed by adding a syllable
to words ending in a vowel sound generally retain
the letters corresponding to that sound; as, agree,
agreeable; weigh, weighing; echo, echoed.
Rule XVII.— Derivatives formed by prefixes to words
ending in double consonants generally retain both con-
sonants; as, tipstaff, foretell, fulfill, enroll. Until is an
exception.
Rule XVIII. — Hyphenated compound words retain
the letters of the simple words ; as, stiff-necked, dull-
eyed, brick-yard.
Rule XIX. — Analogy requires that the noun and
verb which are pronounced alike should agree in spell-
ing; as notice, noticed; poultice, poulticing; office,
officer.
Rule XX. — Defense, expense, offense and pretense
are better spelled with an s than a c, because the words
from which they are derived contain an s, and j is
used in all their derivatives ; as, defensive, expensive,
etc.
Rule XXI. — Words like centre, metre, theatre, etc.,
are now written by many authors center, meter, theater,
etc. But acre, lucre, massacre, etc., retain the re in
order to preserve the hard sound of the c.
Rule XXII. — There is a long list of words ending
in ise or ise, as civilize, criticise or criticize, which ad-
mit of both spellings. It may be said that in England
ise is most used, and in the United States, ize; though
we still retain advertise, advise, apprise, arise, chastise,
circumcise, comprise, compromise, criticise, demise,
despise, devise, franchise, disguise, exercise, merchan-
dise, revise, surmise, surprise, etc.
Rule XXIII. — The English termination our, as in
honour, favour, etc., is now almost universally spelled
or in the United States ; as, honor, favor, labor, vigor.
Rule XXIV. — The old termination pede (pes, the
foot) is now mostly written ped; as, biped, centiped,
quadruped, etc. .We have, however, centipede and
velocipede.
COMPARATIVE VIEW OF DISPUTED
SPELLINGS.
Here is given a comparative view of the most important spellings Of miscellaneous words from
the Standard, Century, Webster and Worcester dictionaries — the four leading ones of America. The
English dictionaries; that is.those published in England, show an equal, if not greater diversity in
spelling.
In the following list S stands for Standard, C for Century, W for Webster and Wr. for Wor-
cester.
The first spelling of each of the words presented is always that preferred by the Standard diction-
ary. It will be found on examination to be also that upon which all the above dictionaries are most
generally agreed, though many of them have taken the pains to give alternate spellings, in the order
of their preferences.
The plain initials, S, C, W, or Wr indicate that the first spelling of the words presented is
the one preferred. When either of the above initial letters is marked with a superior figure, as C2 or
W2, or Wr.2 or C3, W3, or Wr.3, said superior figure means that the dictionary so designated prefers
the spelling of the second or third word presented. Three as a superior figure seldom occurs. To il-
lustrate, take the word:
distil, distill S. C. W2. Wr.
This means that Webster prefers the second spelling here given, or distill, and that the Stand-
ard, Century and Worcester prefer the first spelling, or distil.
In many of the words here presented there is agreement as to preferential spelling among all of
the above named American dictionaries. In such cases it must be understood that the second, or
disputed, spelling is the one found either in the dictionaries of England, or in those of inferior author-
ity in America.

SIMPLIFICATIONS IN SPELLING.
Class I.
The following simplified forms of spelling have been recommended by the Philological Society
of London, The American Philological Association, The Modern Language Association of Amer-
ica, and the Orthographic Union. They are recognized in the columns of "A Standard Diction-
ary," in the lists at the end of "The Century Dictionary," and in the introduction to "Webster's
International Dictionary." A considerable number of authors, editors and educators have agreed
to use them. Class I embraces the words ending in cd, when ed has the sound of t. In such cases
spell simply with a t, and if a double consonant or diphthong precedes, reduce it to a single con-
sonant ; as, exprest, not exprcsst.
The spellings recommended are in bold-faced type.

SIMPLIFICATIONS IN SPELLING.
Class II.
The simplified forms of spellings found in Class II have been recommended by the same au-
thorities as in Class I. This class embraces words ending in ide, He, ine, ite, mme, tte and gue,
in which ending the e is silent. The rule is to omit the e and preceding silent letters when the
change will not suggest another quality (sound) for a preceding letter.
The spellings recommended are in bold-faced type.

partments of the Government, has recommended the spellings found below. They do not exhaust
the list, but are given as examples. It may be said that the Royal Geographical Society, of Lon-
don, has made quite the same recommendations, and that they have been largely or wholly adopted
in "The Century Cyclopedia of Names" and by "A Standard Dictionary."

THE REFORMED SPELLING CAMPAIGN.
Early Stages. — At every stage in the his-
tory of the English language its spellings have
engaged the attention, with more or less
earnestness, of its grammarians, lexicograph-
ers, writers and instructors. During the for-
mative periods of the language much might
have been accomplished in shaping, simplify-
ing and rendering uniform its spellings, had
it been possible for all "masters of speech"
to have come together in periodical conven-
tions, or to have otherwise cooperated, for
the establishment of spelling rules. This not
having been possible, the always existing in-
terest in spelling never became coherent, with
the result that words assumed spellings after
very arbitrary and, sometimes, very absurd
fashions. In time, these badly spelled words
became so fixed in the language as to make
a reformed, modernized, rational and purely
phonetic spelling of them a difficult and slow
task.
American Reform. — In England, during
later years, learned men began to come more
and more together on the need of spelling re-
form, and cooperative effort assumed the form
of widely represented organizations, whose
agency has proved far-reaching. In America,
Benjamin Franklin first kindled the fire of re-
formed English speech by a proposition to
exclude many useless letters from the alphabet
and to make a dictionary with improved spell-
ings. Noah Webster, in his dictionary, insisted
upon like reforms and accomplished many, an
instance of which was the expunging of the let-
ter u from the spelling of labour (labor). Benn
Pitman, author of the shorthand, or phonetic,
system of writing, was an important factor
in the spelling reform movement. But the real
campaign for reformed spelling in America
was begun in 1876, when leading scholars of
America and England held an international
convention at Philadelphia, as part of the cere-
monies of the Centennial Exposition of that
year, whose object was "the amendment of
English orthography," The members of this
Convention organized the "Spelling Reform
Association," and made Prof. Francis A.
March, Senior, of Lafayette College, Pennsyl-
vania, its permanent president. This associa-
tion later connected itself with the "National
Educational and American Philological Asso-
ciation," and the two cooperated in distribu-
ting periodicals and general literature in lavor
of reformed spelling. They naturally en-
countered much opposition, and were handi-
capped in their efforts by lack of means. But
the fact that the combined associations counted
among their members the leading scholars of
the land soon became known, and reformed
spelling began to be thought worthy of edi-
torial, magazine, pamphlet, and even book, dis-
cussions, much to its encouragement, though
not at all times favorable. As discussions
went on, objections to the reform movement
diminished in number and effect. It was
gradually ascertained that the most formidable
objections remaining to be met were those
from printers and compositors, who were
wedded to their old ways of spelling; pub-
lishers, who feared the effect of new spellings
on their trade; the common people, with their
prejudices against change. To make more
than very slow progress against these seemed
impossible, unless something should happen
to give fresh impetus to the reform and enable
it to maintain persistency. This happening
came about through the agency of Andrew
Carnegie, who created (1906) a fund to en-
courage spelling reform, the income from
which is supposed to be the equivalent of
$15,000 a year.
Simplified Spelling Board. — As a prelim-
inary to and a result of the Carnegie gift, The
Simplified Spelling Board was organized, with
headquarters at No. 1 Madison Avenue, New
York City. It is composed as follows :
Brander Matthews, professor in Columbia
University, chairman.

versity of Nebraska.

First Step of the Board. — As one of the
first steps of The Simplified Spelling Board it
issued (March 21, 1906) a circular to the pub-
lic, giving reasons for its existence and a brief
outline of its purposes. These can be best pre-
sented here in the language of the Board,
which reads:
"All whose mother-tongue is English be-
lieve that, if it is not unfairly handicapped, it
will become the dominant and international
language of the world. For this destiny it is
fitted by its use as the medium of the widest
commerce and the most progressive civiliza-
tion, by its cosmopolitan vocabulary, and by
■Hs grammatical simplicity. No other existing
speech, and none of the proposed artificial in-
ternational languages, has the same adaptabil-
ity to such a use. There is, however, a wide-
spread and well-grounded conviction that in
its progress toward this goal our language is
handicapped by one thing, and one only — its
intricate and disordered spelling, which makes
it a puzzle to the stranger within our gates
and a mystery to the stranger beyond the seas.
English is easy, adaptable and capable of a
many-sided development: its spelling is diffi-
cult and cumbersome.
"Apart from its relation to the foreigner,
our intricate and disordered spelling also places
a direct burden upon every native user of Eng-
lish. It wastes a large part of the time and
effort given to the instruction of our children,
keeping them, for example, from one to two
years behind the school-children of Germany,
and condemning many of them to alleged
"illiteracy" all their days. Moreover, the print-
ing, typewriting and handwriting of the use-
less letters which our spelling prescribes, and
upon which its difficulty chiefly rests, waste
every year millions of dollars, and time and
effort worth millions more. If, then, as is
certain, the reasonable and gradual simplifica-
tion of our spelling will aid the spread of
English, with the attendant advancement of
commerce, of democratic ideals and of intel-
lectual and political freedom ; will economize
the time of our school-children and make their
work more efficient, and will aid greatly in
the cheapening of printing, is it not a matter
which appeals to common sense, to patriotism
and to philanthropy?
"Some of those who would like to see our
spelling made simpler fear that this will ob-
scure the derivation of words; but all etymol-
ogists deny the statement and repudiate the
argument. Etymology is history, and is now
secure in innumerable books. Some object to
any change, not realizing that change — much
of it of the nature of simplification— has been
almost continuous in the history of English
spelling. We do not print Shakespeare's or
Bacon's words as they were written; and
surely, no great catastrophe to English liter-
ature or to the literary character of the lan-
guage will have happened if our successors
find — as they certainly will — as great or greater
differences between their spelling and thai, of
the present day. In familiar correspondence
many simplified forms are now used which
shock no one's nerves, and in the most emo-
tional poetry forms such as dropt, stept, prest
(Tennyson) are printed without attracting at-
tention. So eminent a body as the National
Educational Association, of many thousand
members, has deliberately selected a number

OUR ENGLISH SPEECH.
of simplified spellings to be used in its printed
documents, and these spellings have been
adopted by many periodicals and by hundreds
of individuals. In fact, it is probable that if
all English words were printed to-morrow in
the simpler forms, which they unquestionably
will bear a hundred years hence, it would take
a very little while for us all to become ac-
customed to then.
"With the purpose of expediting this natural
process of change, which has been going on
for centuries, and, as far as may be possible,
of guiding it in the direction of simplicity and
economy, an organization, known as The
Simplified Spelling Board (the members of
which are named on a former page), has been
formed, which will urge educated people every-
where to aid in the gradual simplification of
English spelling, and thus help to make the
English language more and more easy to ac-
quire and to use. The liberality of Mr. Andrew
Carnegie has supplied this Board with funds
for its work, and plans for a campaign, which
will extend over a number of years, have been
formed.
"The recommendations of the Board will be
announced from time to time, as its plans
mature. In this preliminary circular it desires
merely to ask those who sympathize with its
aims to take a simple initial step. There is
inclosed a list of three hundred of the com-
monest words (not the complete list, which
amounts to thousands), of which different
spellings are authorized by the leading dic-
tionaries or by the usage of eminent men of
letters, the simpler forms being printed in the
first column and the more complex forms in
the second. See these 300 words on following
pages."
What Confuses Spellers. — The Simplified
Spelling Board backed up its first circular by
a review of the conditions prevailing in the
spellings of the English language, especially
those which lead to confusion. It says:
"The anomalies and perversities of English
spelling are obvious enough and call loudly
for regulation. But' the very fact that some
spellings are anomalous and perverse implies
that the other spellings are more or less reg-
ular, and this is true. The majority of English
» words are spelled according to ascertainable
analogies, and are thus fairly regular. This
is especially true as to literary words of more
than one syllable, of Latin or Greek origin.
Thus, words like eminent, prominent, evident,
protestant, memorial, terrestrial, practical, astro-
nomical, familiar, peculiar, ability, conformity,
monopoly, tedious, previous, biology, etc., are
approximately phonetic as to the short vowels
which are concerned in these words. They
would • not present many difficulties to the
learner, if the learner were not confused by a
host of other words with other analogies. It
is true also of a great many monosyllables
not ending in silent e, as bat, bet, bit, but, bad,
bed, bid, bud, ban, bin, bun, cam, dam, slam,
slap, slat, clash, clasp, self, help, strong,
strength, etc., but here again a host of other
monosyllables suggesting other analogies
(plaid, saith, bread, been, flood, come, etc.)
rush in to badger and confuse the unhappy
learner."
Easy to Simplify Spelling. — With reference
to the simplicity of the matter of reform spell-
ing, and to the fact that many of the proposed
reforms are but returns to old and well-estab-
lished spellings the Board says:
"The rules and analogies which underlie
English spelling can, however, be ascertained
and stated, and the exceptions can then be
clearly seen. The next thing is to reduce or
abolish the exceptions. The process has
worked well with many words. Why not con-
tinue it with other words? The matter is
really very simple. When the rules and anal-
ogies are understood, any intelligent person
can see for himself when a particular spelling
deviates from them. Thus, any one can see
that binn, bunn, butt, are out of accord with the
rule established by the innumerable words like
pin, pun, cut, that centre, metre, fibre, etc., are
out of accord with the rule established by
canter, numb,er, timber, diameter, etc., and that
favour, honour, etc., are out of accord with the
rule established by error, terror, minor, major,
editor, senator, etc. So likewise dript, dropt,
snapt, drest, prest, etc., tho now actually less
common than dripped, dropped, snapped, crossed,
dressed, are more in accord with the pre-
vailing analogy of /> or s before a t sound, which
appears in apt, host, boast, best, nest, rust, etc.,
and in the old spelling, still retained, of some
preterits and participles, as crept, lost, swept,
etc., as well as dreamt, leapt, etc. The common
forms, dripped, dropped, dressed, pressed, etc.,
are in a great part alterations of seventeenth
and eighteenth century spellings with t. The
alterations were made to establish a visible but
fallacious uniformity of inflection. Forms like
dript, dropt, stcpt, stopt, crost, drest, kist. prest,
etc., abound in the original editions of Shakes-
peare, Milton, Dryden, Pope, Burns, Scott,
Byron, and are very common in more recent
poets, as Tennyson, Landor, Swinburne, Lo-
well. They are always seen in those modern
editions of the older standard writers in which

fied Spelling Board purposely omitted from
its larger list of more than 1,000 words certain
large classes of words spelled in two or more
ways, such as chemical words in -ide or -id,
and -ine or -in, and the forms involving -// or
-/, or -tt or -t, before suffixes, as travelled or
traveled, traveller or traveler, travelling or
traveling, etc., rivetted or riveted, rivetter or
riveter, rivetting or riveting, etc., in all of which
the simpler form of spelling is, of course, to
be preferred.
In its submitted list of 300 common words
the Board distinguishes twenty, classes of
words, to each of which a simple and a definite
spelling rule is applicable. With these rules
as starting points anyone, even the youngest
scholar in school or the least learned, can spell
not only the 300 words of the list, but all
analogous words, with the greatest ease and
accuracy, and will feel that a happy escape
has been made from mental hardship and con-
fusion.
The twenty classes of words, arranged in
the alphabetic order of the letters or affixes
affected, together with the rules applicable to
them, are as follows : —
1. Words spelled with ae, se or e. Rule: Choose e.
Ex. : Anesthetic, esthetic, medieval, etc.
2. Words spelled with -dge-ment or -dg-ment.
Rule: Omit e. Ex.: Abridgment, acknowledgment,
judgment, lodgment.
*3. Words spelled with -ed or -t, the preceding
single consonant being doubled before -ed {-pped,
-sscd) and left single before -t (-pt, -st). Rule:
Choose -t in all cases. Ex. : Dipt, dript, dropt, stept,
slopt, etc., blest, prest, distrest, mist, etc., blnsht, husht,
■washt, etc.
•Forms like those found in class, or rule, three, being inflections, are commonly omitted from dictionary lists of words spelled
in two ways, but they are genuine historical spellings and cannot be ignored. Some are very ancient. For instance, kist is
A-S. cyste, mist is A-S. miste, and all are frequent and normal in English literature from Spenser, Shakespeare and Milton
to Tennyson and Lowell.
How remarkable it all seems, that in our modern efforts to simplify English spelling we do, in such a vast number of instances,
but go back to the forms employed by the greatest writers of former centuries. Milton, for example, has compast, languisht,
vanquisht, admonisht, astonisht, diminisht, polisht, worshipt, supt. ceast, linkt, matcht, scorcht, etc.
To instance more in detail, the following spelling forms are used with frequency by the noted authors whose names follow them.

leapt : Addison, Collins. Tennyson, Mrs. Browning, Swinburne.
lookt : Spenser, Milton, Bunyan, De Foe.

the attempt is made to give a correct text.
The habit of present publishers of permitting
their proofreaders to 'adopt' some imperfect
standard, like the older dictionaries, as an in-
flexible rule, and to alter the text of the stand-
ard authors, when a new edition is made, to
suit his 'preference,' serves to conceal from
the reader the real spelling of the author him-
self. Thus, not only Shakespeare and Milton,
but Pope, Cowper, Byron, Scott, Campbell,
Macaulay, are compelled to appear, not in
their own spelling, but in the spelling of the
publisher or proofreader who chances to 'pre-
fer' the authority of some dictionary. This
tends to suppress the truth, to stereotype bad
forms as well as good, and to prevent that
reasonable change toward order and simplicity
which was allowed to work freely before the
nineteenth century.
"Happily, however, there are many hundred
words in which this process of stereotyping
irregular or anomalous forms has not prevailed,
and in which a choice still lies open between a
simple or normal form, and a less simple or
anomalous form.
"It has been thought wise to print a partial
list of the words now spelled in two or more
ways with a view of informing the public of
the facts, and of ascertaining how far intelli-
gent readers will concur in the effort to estab-
lish the simpler forms. A full list would con-
tain many hundred words, many of them book-
ish or technical or semi-foreign."

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S ORDER.
In August, 1906, and after the adoption of
the list of spellings recommended by the Board,
by several educational boards in the larger
cities of the country, and by a great many
scholars and authors, President Roosevelt is-
sued an order to the Public Printer at Wash-
ington to use the simplified form of spelling the
300 words in the Board's list in the printing of
all executive documents. This order gave rise
to much criticism on the part of those opposed
to innovations in spelling. The President was
charged with undue favoritism to what was
erroneously called the "Carnegie idea," and
to the efforts of The Simplified Spelling Board.
To become a lexicographer and teacher, said
his critics, was no part of executive duty, and
to compel, by executive order, the adoption of
reform spelling, even to such a limited extent
as 300 words, in publications belonging to, and
to be read by, the general public, was an arbi-
trary stretch of his power. •
Extension of the President's Order. —
Nothing disconcerted by criticism, rather be-
cause of it, and by further study of the merits
of the simplified spelling system, the Presi-
dent, on August 28, 1906, extended his order
regarding reformed spelling of the selected
300 words to all parts of the government, as
represented through its executive heads. Thus
the selected list became virtually the official
dictionary of the executive staff, and the Pub-
lic Printer set about the work of formulating
rules for printing in accordance with the ex-
tended order.
The President Explains. — In a letter to
the Public Printer, made public under date of
September 2, 1906, President Roosevelt- went
at length into an explanation of his order and
of the reasons which prompted it, by saying,
in part, that most of the criticism of the pro-
posed step toward simplified spelling had evi-
dently been made in ignorance of what the
step really is, no less than in entire ignorance
of the very moderate and common-sense views
as to the purposes to be achieved. He referred
the Public Printer to the various circulars pub-
lished by The Simplified Spelling Board, and
recommended him to use them as answers to
anyone asking for the reasons of his action.
No Attempt at Revolution. — The Presi-
dent continued his letter thus: "There is not
the slightest intention to do anything revolu-
tionary or to initiate any far-reaching policy.
The purpose simply is for the government, in-
stead of laying behind popular sentiment, to
advance abreast of it, and, at the same time,
abreast of the views of the ablest and most
practical educators of our time, as well as of
the most profound scholars of the stamp of
Prof. Lounsbury and Prof. Skeat."
The Order Tentative. — In further explain-
ing the nature of his order, the President said:
"If the slight changes in the spelling of the
300 words proposed wholly or partially meet
popular approval, then the changes will be-
come permanent without any reference to
what public officials or individual private
citizens may feel ; if they do not ultimately
meet with popular approval they will be dropt.
and that is all there is about it."
What the Changes Really Represent. —
As to what the proposed changes really repre-
sent, the President continued : "They represent
nothing in the world but a very slight ex-
tension of the unconscious movement which
has made agricultural implement makers and
farmers write 'plow,' instead of 'plough ;'
which has made most Americans write 'honor'
without the somewhat absurd and superfluous
'u,' and which is even now making people
write 'program,' instead of 'programme,' just
as all people who speak English now write
'bat,' 'set,' 'dim,' 'sum' and 'fish,' instead
of the Elizabethan 'batte,' 'sette,' 'dimme,'
'summe' and 'fysshe;' which makes us write
'public,' 'almanac,' 'era,' 'fantasy' and 'wagon,'
instead of the 'publick,' 'almanack,' 'sera,'
'phantasy' and 'waggon' of our great-fathers."
No Attack on the Language. — Again, the
President said: "It is not an attack on the
language of Shakespeare and Milton, because
it is, in some instances, a going-back to the
forms they used, and in others merely the
extension of changes which, as regards other
words, have taken place since their time. It
is not an attempt to do anything far-reaching
or sudden, or violent, or, indeed, anything very
great at all." In concluding, the President
said: "My plan is merely an attempt to cast
what slight weight can properly be cast on
the side of the popular forces which are en-
(99)

deavoring to make English spelling a little
less foolish and fantastic."
The Carnegie Motive. — Mr. Carnegie's mo-
tive for giving his money towards the simplifi-
cation of the language grew out of his opinion
that English is destined to become the world
language, and that a primary and necessary
step to this end is to free it of its difficult and
contradictory spelling, thus relieving it of
what is formidable, if not repellant, to those
who would otherwise acquire and use it in
commerce, diplomacy and literature. As ex-
pressive of his hopes, he says: "I hope that
thoughtful persons will give this important
matter due consideration and resolve to use
at least two or three simplified words, and
thus range themselves with us in the effort
to carry on the unceasing work of improving
our mother-tongue."
Professor March's Views. — The name of
Prof. Francis A. March, St., pioneer of spelling
reform in America, appears in the list of mem-
bers of the Simplified Spelling Board, as seen
on a former page, and he is the most venerable
and learned of his many illustrious and earnest
companions. In summing up his views of the
simplified spelling situation, he says: "I may
not live to see the accomplishment of spelling
reform, but it is bound to come in the near
future. People should find no objection to
using words recommended by The Simplified
Spelling Board. That will be the start. Then
the people must be familiarized with reformed
spelling by bringing before them reading mat-
ter using that kind of spelling. Print all sorts
of good books in reformed spelling, and get
people to read them, and the reform will be
accomplished."
Prof. Max Muller's Views. — Prof. Max
Muller was much in favor of the reformed
method, and in writing of it, asked : "Can this
old and unsystematic system of spelling Eng-
lish be allowd to go on forever? Is every
English child to be mulcted in two or three
years of his life in order to lern it? Ar the
lower classes to go thru scool without lerning
to read and write their own language intelli-
gently? I do not think that such a state of
things will be allowd to go on forever, par-
ticularly as a remedy is at hand. There is a
motiv power behind these spelling reformers. It
is the misery endured by millions of children at
scools who might lern in one year what they
now require four or five years to lern, and
seldom succeed in lerning it at all."
Views of Prof. Bfander Matthews. — In cir-
cular No. 4, of The Simplified Spelling Board,
published May 7, 1906, Prof. Matthews, of
Columbia University, speaks as follows:
"An accomplished historian of our noble-
language has asserted that English is now 'the
most barbarously spelt of any cultivated tongue
in Christendom. We are weltering in an
orthographic chaos in which a multitude of
signs are represented by the same sound and
a multitude of sounds by the same sign.' And
he then illustrates this confusion by drawing
attention to the fact that one and the same
sound is now represented by e in let, by ea in
head, by ei in heifer, by eo in leopard, by ay in
says, by ai in said, and by a in many. Here we
have seven different symbols for a single vowel
sound, and the most of these same symbols in
other words represent other vowel sounds. Nor
are the consonants very much more exact, as
we see when we are reminded that one and the
same sound is now represented by j in sure, by
sh in ship, by sci in conscience, by ci in suspicion,
by ce in ocean, by ti in notion, and by xi in
anxious — again seven different symbols for a
single sound.
"The spelling of English is now more foolish
than that of German or French (both of which
have been somewhat amended of late), partly
because English has, unfortunately, suffered
more than any of the other modern languages
from the evil influence of uneducated printers
and of half educated pedants. The printers
were the first in the field, and their misdeeds
are at once easier to understand and harder to
counteract. The earliest printers in England
were not Englishmen ; mostly they were Ger-
mans or Dutchmen, to whom English was a
foreign speech.
"Now it is possible for compositors to set
type in a language of which they are wholly
ignorant, but they probably would be less care-
ful and make more blunders in setting up books
in a language which they half knew. 'As
foreigners they had little or no knowledge of
the proper spelling of our tongue,' so Profes-
sor Lounsbury has recorded, adding that, 'in
the general license that then prevailed, they
could venture to disregard where they did not
care to understand.' The result is that the
spelling of the original editions of the master-
pieces of Elizabethan literature is a marvel of
typographic incompetency and of orthographic
recklessness. Spelling was then less accurate ;
it was more clumsy and more slovenly than it
had been when the multiplying of books was
left in the hands of the better-trained copyists.
"So numerous were the variations in the
spelling even of .ordinary words that a re-
action was bound to follow. Toward the end

of the seventeenth century and in the earlier
years of the eighteenth an effort was made to
bring order out of chaos. Unfortunately this
attempt toward uniformity was not guided by
wisdom or by knowledge, but rather by chance
and by caprice, since it was the work of the
printers themselves, who knew nothing about
the principles which should control the ad-
justing of spelling to pronunciation. A certain
kind of uniformity was achieved in time by the
acceptance of the standards set by the printers.
This uniformity, from which our children are
now suffering, was external, arbitrary, me-
chanical, and unscientific. In effecting it, so
Professor Lounsbury has declared with charac-
teristic plainness of speech, 'propriety was
disregarded, etymology perverted, and every
principle of orthography defied.'
"It was a grave misfortune that the mismade
spelling thus casually manufactured was ac-
cepted by Bailey, and after him by Dr. John-
son, whose 'Dictionary,' published in the
middle of the eighteenth century, gave it cur-
rency and authority, which his more ignorant
disciple Walker only helped to extend and
establish. And if the English language has to-
day the worst spelling of any of the modern
languages, this is due largely to the influence
of Dr. Johnson, and to the weight of his ponder-
ous personality. If he had only known just a
little more about the history of his own
language, and if he had exerted his dominating
influence against the more obvious absurdities
and inconsistencies foisted into our spelling
by the narrow pedantry of arrogant proof-
readers, secure in a perilous half-knowledge —
in short if Dr. Johnson had not only known
more about English, but had also cared more —
our orthography would be less unsatisfactory
to-day and it could be more easily set right.
"In his regard for Latin, and in his ignorance
of English as it had been before the printers
came, Johnson accepted comptroller, ignoring
the older controller. He allowed sovereign and
foreign (as tho they had something to do with
the Latin regno) instead of the older soverain
(Milton's sovran) and forrain. He countenanced
debt and doubt, with the useless and disfiguring
b, which was thrust in by earlier pedants. He
kept a Latin p in receipt, tho he left it out of
deceit. He spelt deign one way and disdain
another. He was willing to leave a needless
and misleading .? in island, altho it had been
Hand in Shakespeare's time. He seems to have
supposed that the older English agast would
look more ghostlike if spelt aghast. He saw no
harm in delight, altho the older form, repre-
senting more accurately both the sound and
the origin, was delite. He cast out the Shakes-
pearean ake for a labored ache. He kept up
the accidental and perfectly useless distinction
in the spelling of the final syllables of accede
and exceed, of precede and proceed.
"The more clearly we see the full effect ol
Johnson's accidental influence in fixing upon
our orthography all these infelicities and
many others like them, the more we are moved
to regret that the burly doctor undertook to
prepare the dictionary of a language which he
had not investigated historically, and in which
he held it disgraceful to compose an epitaph.
The arguments which Dr. Johnson advanced
in his pamphlet on 'Taxation no tyranny' did
not convert our forefathers then fighting for
their freedom ; and perhaps the time has now
come when their descendants can decide for
themselves whether they accept or reject the
cumbersome spellings preserved in the dic-
tionary made by the man George III pensioned.
"If only we had in our hands a satisfactory
history of English orthography, we should
find an easy answer to one protest frequently
made against any proposed simplification of
our spelling. This is to the effect that it is our
duty to preserve for our children the orthog-
raphy which was used by Addison and by
Swift, by Milton and by Shakespeare, since the
spelling that was good enough for these great
masters of English literature ought surely to
be good enough for us. But this protest is
never voiced by any one who is familiar with
the original editions of Milton and of Shakes-
peare; it is possible to those who are familiar
only with the ordinary library editions set up
in 'modern spelling' — that is to say, in the
spelling arbitrarily agreed on in the printing
offices of the eighteenth century, and igno-
rantly accepted by Dr. Johnson. This 'modern
spelling' misrepresents the text of the masters
of English literature. Altho it was accepted
in most of the editions issued in the nineteenth
century, it is now rejected by the severer
scholarship of our own time, which insists on
reproducing the original orthography.
"The multiplication of these more scholarly
editions of the English classics will soon con-
vince even the careless reader that English
spelling has always been shifting, and that it
was often simpler in the past than it is to-day.
It will convince him that the so-called 'modern
spelling' has no sanctity from use by the
masters. It is not the spelling of Addison and
Swift, of Milton and of Shakespeare ; it is only
the spelling of Samuel Johnson, author of the
'Vanity of human wishes.' It is the spelling
of yesterday, but it is not the spelling of the
102

day before yesterday, and it will not be the
spelling of to-morrow. Many of the more
cumbersome forms of the Johnsonian canon —
governour, for example, and waggon and gaol —
have long been abandoned here in the United
States. Many more are likely to be given up
in the immediate future. Already is rime mak-
ing its way back into use, and probably sovran
would seem strange now to no student of
Milton. No lover of Tennyson finds anything
unusual in stept and stopt, which the laureate
liked better'than stepped and stopped, perhaps
as more frankly monosyllabic and therefore
more harmoniously fitted into his verse; and
perhaps because he followed the practise of the
older poets of our tongue.
"It was the shrewd Bismarck who declared
that 'we cannot hasten the course of time by
setting our watches forward.' But the course
of time is even steadier in its advance than
the most trustworthy of our watches. Even
in the nineteenth century there was some
progress toward simplicity in our spelling, and
now at the beginning of the twentieth century
the time seems ripe for another step or two.
The Simplified Spelling Board is profoundly
convinced that the peoples who speak English
are very conservative and very slow to move
along the path of reformation, and therefore
it is going to refrain from all radical sugges-
tions. Its members agree with M. Brunetiere
that 'we can do what we desire only on con-
dition that we do not desire what is not in our
power.' "
Fate of the President's Order. Though the
President's order of August, 1906, went into
operation at once in the Public Printing Office, as
to the spellings in executive documents, the judi-
cial branch of the government refused to adopt
the proposed new spellings in their papers and
decisions, and insisted on a continuance of the old
forms. When the Fifty-ninth Congress met in
its second session, December 3d, 1906, it, also,
was found in opposition to the improved spelling,
and the House passed a unanimous resolution to
the effect that the Public Printer should, in the
printing of all reports, documents and other
publications ordered by Congress, use the orthog-
raphy found in accepted dictionaries ; but this
resolution was recalled when the President, see-
ing that his order was not generally acceptable to
either the judicial or legislative departments of
government, revoked it, as he had before inti-
mated he would do in case it proved impracticable
in its workings. It was made clear to him that
the two forms of spelling in the same printing
office resulted in confusion and expense. He,
however, continued the reform spelling in the
White House correspondence, except when the
same was to pass through the Public Printing de-
partment.
